Download Solution PDFEffect of temperature on surface tension and viscosity:
- As the temperature increases, viscosity decreases.
- Surface tension decreases with an increase in temperature.
- In general, surface tension decreases when the temperature increases because cohesive forces decrease with increased molecular thermal activity.
- The influence of the surrounding environment is due to the adhesive action liquid molecules have at the interface.
- Increasing temperature results in a decrease in viscosity because a larger temperature means particles have greater thermal energy and are more easily overcome the attractive forces binding them together.
