The surface tension of which of the following liquid is maximum?

A

`C_(2)H_(5)OH`

B

`CH_(3)OH`

C

`H_(2)O`

D

`C_(6)H_(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Surface tension of `H_(2)O` is maximum due ot maximum hydrogen bonding in comparison to `C_(2)H_(5)OH, CH_(3)OH, H_(2), and C_(6)H_(6)`. The order of `H`-bonding is `H_(2)O gt CH_(3)OH gt C_(2)H_(5)OH`
( Benzene does not form `H`-bond)
