Surface tension vanishes at

Question

Surface tension vanishes at (A) absolute zero temperature (B) transition temperature (C) critical temperature (D) constant temperature

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The surface tension of liquids decreases with increase of temperature. For small temperature difference it decreases almost linearly. The surface tension of a liquid becomes zero at a particular temperature, called the critical temperature of that liquid.
