Question:
The surface tension of which of the following liquids is maximum?
The surface tension of which of the following liquids is maximum?
Updated On: Aug 1, 2022
- $H_2O$
- $C_6H_6$
- $CH_3OH$
- $C_2H_5OH$
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Surface tension of $H_2O$ is maximum due to maximum hydrogen bonding in comparison to $C_6H_6, CH_3OH, C_2H_5OH $. The order of H-bonding is $H_2O > CH_3OH > C_2H_5OH$
(Benzene does not form H-bond).

Concepts Used:
Liquid State
The liquid state of matter has the following properties:
- As the particles moves it start moving everywhere inside the volume filled by the liquid.
- Liquids have a strong inter-particle force, more inter-particle space than solids and enough kinetic energy.
- It can be transformed into solids due to the solidification process.
- Evaporation is the conversion of liquids to gases.
- Liquid particles begin to flow more quickly when the temperature rises.
- Liquids are difficult to compress because there is less space between particles for particles to migrate.
- Constant volume but no constant shape.
- In liquids, the rate of diffusion is faster than in solids.
- Inter molecular attraction between particles is weaker than that between solids.
