Case Based MCQs :

The property due to which the free surface of liquid tends to have minimum surface area and behaves like a stretched membrane is called surface tension. It is a force per unit length acting in the plane of interface between the liquid and the bounding surface i.e., S = F/L , where F = force acting on either side of imaginary line on surface and L = length of imaginary line.
Surface tension decreases with rise in temperature. Highly soluble impurities increases surface tension and sparingly soluble impurities decreases surface tension.
