The surface tension of which of the following liquid is maximum?

A

`H_2O`

B

`C_6H_6`

C

`CH_3OH`

D

`C_2H_5OH`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`"Hydrogen bonding" prop 1/("Surface tension")`
More the hydrogen bonding, less will be the surface tension. Among all the options, `H_2O` has least number of hydrogen bonds.
`therefore `Maxium surface tension .
