Question

Acetic acid has less surface tension than diethyl ether.
If true 1 else 0.

• A. 0

Answer 1

The correct option is A 0
It is a property by virtue of which, the free surface of a liquid possesses a tendency to contract so as to acquire a minimum surface area.
Factors that affect surface tension is strength of interparticle attractions.
As interparticle attractions increases, surface tension increases.
Here, diethyl ether is least polar so least interparticle forces so it have least surface tension.
