Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The surface tension of a liquid can be measured using which of the following methods?
  • Step 1: Understand what surface tension is - it's the force that makes the surface of a liquid behave like a stretched elastic sheet.
  • Step 2: Learn about the capillary rise method - this method involves using a thin tube called a capillary tube.
  • Step 3: Place the capillary tube vertically into the liquid you want to measure.
  • Step 4: Observe how high the liquid rises in the tube - this height is affected by the surface tension of the liquid.
  • Step 5: Use the height of the liquid rise, along with the tube's diameter and the liquid's density, to calculate the surface tension.
