if you are doing a science project......you might wanna try diffrent liquids on the effect of (surface tension).... milk water juice paperclip water is best for the atraction of ST. milk and the juice is what reduces ST the best The body contains a natural surface tension reducing substance called surfactant.It is found in the lungs and prevents the lungs from collapsing due to surface tension when you exhale

What liquid have the strongest surface tension?
Mercury is the liquid with the strongest surface tension.
Effect of impurities on surface tension of liqiud?
yes The presence of impurities either on the surface or dissolved in it, affect surface tension of the liquid. Highly soluble substances increase the surface tension of water, whereas sparingly soluble substances reduce the surface tension of water. The surface tension of a liquid decreases with increase in temperature. The surface tension of a liquid becomes zero at its boiling point and vanishes at critical temperature.
What is the direction in which the surface tension acts when the liquid is at rest?
it acts along the surface of liquid
What is the term for how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid?
surface tension
What uneven forces acting on the particles of a liquid's surface?
Surface Tension
What liquid have the strongest surface tension?
Mercury is the liquid with the strongest surface tension.
Surface Tension is found in what?
Surface tension is found in Liquid
Is the inward force among the molecules of a liquid?
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
Is surface tension a solid liquid or gas?
Surface tension is a characteristic of liquids.
What is surface tension in hydrocarbons?
Each liquid hydrocarbon has a different surface tension.
Effect of impurities on surface tension of liqiud?
yes The presence of impurities either on the surface or dissolved in it, affect surface tension of the liquid. Highly soluble substances increase the surface tension of water, whereas sparingly soluble substances reduce the surface tension of water. The surface tension of a liquid decreases with increase in temperature. The surface tension of a liquid becomes zero at its boiling point and vanishes at critical temperature.
What matter has surface tenstion?
A liquid has surface tension.
What is the force that acts on the surface of a liquid?
surface tension
What happens to the surface tension of a liquid when it is heated?
As heat increases the surface tension decreases.
What are surfactants?
A substance that tends to reduce the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved.
What is surface tension.?
Surface tension is defined as the elasticlike force that exists at the surface.
What do you expect to see if the liquid surface tension is less than or equal to the critical surface tension of a surface?
the lack of a surface.
