The surface tension of a liquid is affected byA. intermolecular forces among the moleculesB. temperatureC. the addition of active agentD. All of the above |
Answer» Correct Answer - D The factor which affect the surface tension of liquid are Surface tension is higher for the liquids having greater intermolecular forces between their molecules. Surface tension of the liquid decreases with increase in temperature. It is because with increase in temperature the intermolecular forces of attraction between liquid molecules decreases. Due to the addition of surface active agent, i.e., Surfactants (e.g., soap), surface tension decreases. |
