Why did heating the water affect the surface tension?
Surface tension is lower at higher temperatures.
What is the effect of detergent on the surface tension?
Detergent has the effect of reducing the size of the water molecules thereby reducing the surface tension of the water. This allows for the small water molecules to integrate themselves farther into fabric to remove contaminants.
Does water have a relatively high or low surface tension?
MERCURY has a higher surface tension than water. This highest surface tension between liquids is 487 mN/m at 15 0C.
How would the surface tension of water be affected if water was a less polar molecule?
It would be lower than 72 mN/m
Surface tension of water on adding detergent?
Well If you have a pie pan filled with milk and then drop 4 diffrent colors of food coloring droped in but not touching then get a tooth pick with detergent on it and touch it in the foodcoloring will swirl out like tie die in the pan.
Does gasoline have a low surface tension?
yes it is lower than the surface tension of water
How does soap effects the surface tension if water?
the surface tension has bonds, and the soap breaks those bonds, so if the soap water is put onto a surface.. it will slip off
Why does soap reduce the surface tension of water?
Soap will lower the surface tension of water. Like any surfactant soap will lower the surface energy by disrupting the strong inter-molecular hydrogen bonding that confers such a strong surface tension to water.
What are compounds that lower the surface tension of water?
Unit cells
What is the effect of pH on surface tension?
For most liquids, an increase in pH results in decreased surface tension. This has been attributed to lower attraction force between molecules when pH rises.
What causes detergent to lower the surface tension of water?
Some mood music.
Why did heating the water affect the surface tension?
Surface tension is lower at higher temperatures.
What is the effect of detergent on the surface tension?
Detergent has the effect of reducing the size of the water molecules thereby reducing the surface tension of the water. This allows for the small water molecules to integrate themselves farther into fabric to remove contaminants.
What is the effect of sodium chloride on the surface tension of water?
The surface tension of water is increased for salted water.Sodium chloride increase the surface tension of water.
What makes a needle to float in water?
Water surface tension hold the needle on the water surface.
What property of water let's bugs walk on water?
surface tension
A consequence of the surface tension of water is?
The surface tension of water is responsible for the cohesive properties it exhibits. For example, capillary action is a consequence of surface tension.
