Does surface tension depend on the surface area?

Open in App

Solution

Surface tension is a property displayed by the liquid surface by acting as if it were a stretched elastic membrane.
The surface tension primarily depends on the forces of attraction between the particles within the giving liquid and also on the gas, solid, or liquid in contact with it.
Hence, surface tension doesn’t depend on the surface area.
