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

Due to intermolecular H-bonding the surface tension of `H_(2)O` is more than other liquid. One `H_(2)O` molecule is joined with 4 another `H_(2)O` molecule through H--bond. Hydrogen bonding is in order `H_(2)Ogt C_(2)H_(5)OH gt CH_(3)OH`.
