What will be the effect on the angle of contact of a liquid if the temperature increases?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

With the increase in temperature , the surface tension of liquid decreases. Due to it, the liquid surface on the solid surface becomes more flat, consequently the angle of contact of a liquid increases with the increase in temperature.
