What is the effect of temperature on surface tension and viscosity?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Surface Tension:** - Surface tension is the force that acts on the surface of a liquid, caused by the attraction between the molecules at the surface and those in the bulk of the liquid. This creates a "skin-like" effect on the surface. 2. **Understanding Viscosity:** - Viscosity is defined as the resistance of a liquid to flow. It is often associated with the thickness or stickiness of the liquid. A liquid with high viscosity flows slowly, while a liquid with low viscosity flows easily. ...
