Surface tension of a liquid is a molecular phenomenon of liquids involving the force of cohension along the liquid molecules. It is scalar quantity and is numberically equal to the surface energy. Numerically, it is proved that the potential soluble salts and surfce active substance. Sparingly soluble salts and surface acitve substances decrease the surface tension of the liquid. However, the fairly soluble solutes increase the surface tension of the liquid. Surfacetension of a liquid is independent of surface area but it depends on the intemolecular forces and the temperature. Which of the following has the highest surface tension ?

1.	Surface tension of a liquid is a molecular phenomenon of liquids involving the force of cohension along the liquid molecules. It is scalar quantity and is numberically equal to the surface energy. Numerically, it is proved that the potential soluble salts and surfce active substance. Sparingly soluble salts and surface acitve substances decrease the surface tension of the liquid. However, the fairly soluble solutes increase the surface tension of the liquid. Surfacetension of a liquid is independent of surface area but it depends on the intemolecular forces and the temperature. Which of the following has the highest surface tension ?
Answer» Water Soap in water Detergent in water GLYCEROL in water. Solution :Glycerol in water has the maximum surface tension SINCE the intermolecular hydrogen BONDING is the maximum.
