The surface tension of which of the following liquids is maximum?

Question

The surface tension of which of the following liquids is maximum? (A) H2O (B) C6H6 (C) CH3OH (D) C2H5OH

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Surface tension of H2O is maximum due to maximum hydrogen bonding in comparison to C6H6, CH3OH, C2H5OH . The order of H-bonding is H2O > CH3OH > C2H5OH (Benzene does not form H-bond).

Q. The surface tension of which of the following liquids is maximum?

$H_{2} O$

$C_{6} H_{6}$

$C H_{3} O H$

$C_{2} H_{5} O H$

Surface tension of $H_{2} O$ is maximum due to maximum hydrogen bonding in comparison to $C_{6} H_{6}, C H_{3} O H, C_{2} H_{5} O H$ .
The order of H-bonding is $H_{2} O > C H_{3} O H > C_{2} H_{5} O H$ (Benzene does not form H-bond).

Q. The surface tension of which of the following liquids is maximum?

H2​O

C6​H6​

CH3​OH

C2​H5​OH

Surface tension of H2​O is maximum due to maximum hydrogen bonding in comparison to C6​H6​,CH3​OH,C2​H5​OH. The order of H-bonding is H2​O>CH3​OH>C2​H5​OH (Benzene does not form H-bond).

$H_{2} O$

$C_{6} H_{6}$

$C H_{3} O H$

$C_{2} H_{5} O H$

Surface tension of $H_{2} O$ is maximum due to maximum hydrogen bonding in comparison to $C_{6} H_{6}, C H_{3} O H, C_{2} H_{5} O H$ .
The order of H-bonding is $H_{2} O > C H_{3} O H > C_{2} H_{5} O H$ (Benzene does not form H-bond).
