(a) What do you mean by’Surface Tension'of a liquid?
(b) Explain the factors which can affect the surface tension of a liquid.
(a) Surface tension: It is defined as the force acting per unit length perpendicular to the line drawn on the surface. It’s unit is Nnr1.
(b)Surface tension of a liquid depends upon following factors.
(i)Temperature: Surface tension decreases with rise in temperature. As the temperature of the liquid increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases. Thus, there is a decrease in intermolecular force of attraction which decreases the surface tension.
(ii)Nature of the liquid: Greater the magnitude of intermolecular forces of attraction in the liquid, greater will be the value of surface tension.
