Answer:
(a) Between methanol (CH₃OH) and glycerol (C₃H₅(OH)₃), the substance with the higher surface tension is glycerol (C₃H₅(OH)₃)
(b) Between tetrabromomethane (CBr₄) and chloroform (CHCl₃), the substance with the higher surface tension is chloroform (CHCl₃)
Explanation:
The surface tension of these substances at 20 °C given in mN/m, is as follows:
The surface tension of Methanol is 22.70
The surface tension of Tetrabromomethane is 26.95
The surface tension of Glycerol is 64.00
The surface tension of Chloroform is 27.50
(a) Between methanol (CH₃OH) and glycerol (C₃H₅(OH)₃), the substance with the higher surface tension is glycerol (C₃H₅(OH)₃)
(b) Between tetrabromomethane (CBr₄) and chloroform (CHCl₃), the substance with the higher surface tension is chloroform (CHCl₃)
