प्रश्न
How does the surface tension of a liquid vary with increase in temperature?
पर्याय
Remains same
Decreases
Increases
No regular pattern is followed
उत्तर
Decreases
Explanation:
When the temperature increases, kinetic energy of the molecule increases which leads to decrease in the intermolecular forces and hence, decreases the surface tension.
