Tooth paste contains a small quantity of oil. Is it for any reason connected with the surface tension?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes. Surface tension of water decreases with addition of oil in the tooth paste. Hence the water or the foam easily spreads over the mouth and cleans the teeth.
