Picture it like this ... If this is truly the case, then the surface tension of the mixture should be exactly the average of the surface tension of the two oils. For oils, that is indeed the ...

The attraction of molecules at the surface of a liquid is called surface tension. The polarity of water molecules can help explain why water has a strong surface tension. Students will observe several ...

It is different. This is staying on the surface because of surface tension. I think my best explanation of buoyancy was in the post about MythBusters floating a lead balloon. But, basically for ...

How? It all has to do with something called surface tension. Try this activity to learn more! Background You have probably noticed that if you look at a surface outside on a rainy day or spill ...

Jason Latimer from Impossible Science defies gravity with the surface tension of water. Jason Latimer from Impossible Science, together with Constance Zimmer and her daughter, shows how to defy ...

The modelling results confirm a theoretical pathway for surface tension lowering dominating over the reduction in the Raoult effect in organic–inorganic aerosol mixtures through liquid–liquid ...
