Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between surface tension and temperature for most liquids?
  • Step 1: Understand what surface tension is. It is the force that makes the surface of a liquid behave like a stretched elastic sheet.
  • Step 2: Know that temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
  • Step 3: Learn that for most liquids, when the temperature increases, the surface tension decreases.
  • Step 4: This means that as liquids get warmer, they become less 'sticky' at the surface.
  • Step 5: The relationship is called 'inversely proportional,' which means when one goes up, the other goes down.
