the magnitude of surface tension of liquid dpends on the attractive forces between the molecules. Arrange the following in increasing order of surface tension :
Water, alcohol `(C_(2)H_(5)OH)` and hexane `[CH_(3)(CH_(2))_(4)CH_(3)")"]`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Out of the three liquids, water is maximum polar while ether is least polar in nature. Therefore, increasing order of surface tension is :
`"hexane" lt "alcohol" lt "water"`.
