relationship between surface tension and heat?

Question

relate it much closer to physics laws

Answer 1

The more heat contained in a liquid (ie. the higher its temperature), the lower its surface tension will be. Surface tension is a property due to the fact that the molecules at the surface of the liquid tend to associate more readily with other molecules of their own kind than with whatever else they may be touching, such as air. When you heat up a solution, you are providing more energy to the molecules, making them move more rapidly. This rapid movement means that they will associate more freely with the outside environment, and the surface tension is reduced.

Answer 2

as heat is given to a system, it's surface tension decreases since the kinetic energy of the molecules increases so they are not in a position to maintain an elastic film over the surface.

Answer 3

Surface tension of water decreases as the temperature of water rises because with temperature increase, water molecules move faster and easier therefore the surface tension decreases.

Answer 4

Inversely proportional, when temp increases, surface tension decreases and vice versa

Answer 5

surface tension in say water is caused by the molecules charge atracting oppositly charged molecules. when the molecules are going faster it is harder to hold them together.
so more heat less surface tension

Answer 6

THOUGH WE CAN RELATE SURFACE TENSION WITH TEMPERATURE IN CRUDE SENSE BUT WE CAN'T RELATE IT WITH HEAT AS HEAT IS THE ENERGY IN TRANSIT WHICH HAS NO EXISTANCE WITHIN A SUBSTANCE.

Answer 7

inversely proportional....if u increase the temperature....surface tension decreases n vice versa!
