Statement I: More is the cohesive force,...

Statement I: More is the cohesive force, more is the surface tension.
Statement II: More cohesive force leads to more shrinking of liquid surface.

A

Statement I is true, statement II is true and Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is true, Statement II is true and Statement II is NOT the correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is true, Statement II is false.

D

Statement I is false, Statement II is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Surface tension can be understood as a property of a surface due to which it tries to acquire the minimum possible area. If cohesive force is more, the liquid is having the capability to shrink its surface more, i.e., surface area of the liquid is less and hence more is the surface tension.

Consider a liquid contained in a vessel. The liquid solid adhesive force is very weak as compared to the cohesive force in the liquid. The shape of the liquid surface near the solid shall be

Surface tension arises from the cohesive force between the surface molecules. Interplay between cohesion and adhesion force make the surface inclined at acute or obtuse angle with the contacting solid surfaces. This causes a capillary rise (or fail) given as h=(2Tcostheta)/(rhogr) , where theta= angle of contact T= surface tension rho= density of the liquid, g= acceleration due to gravity and r= radius of the capillary tube. Q. In capillary action theta can be:
