AI Generated Solution

To answer the question regarding the effect of temperature on surface tension and viscosity of a liquid, we can break down the explanation into clear steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Surface Tension**: - Surface tension is defined as the force that acts on the surface of a liquid, causing it to behave like a stretched membrane. It arises due to the cohesive forces between liquid molecules. 2. **Effect of Temperature on Surface Tension**: ...
