<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
- Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid.
- Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.
- Surface tension increases as the temperature of the liquid rises
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Surface tension is measured as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit of area. The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules.
- A molecule in the bulk liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions, while a molecule at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
- Surface tension decreases when temperature increases because cohesive forces decrease with an increase of molecular thermal activity.
I think the answer for this is 4702.5 J/g*k Depending on if it is water as a solid liquid or gas. I used water as a liquid when I solved it. J=(75g)(4.18 J/g*k)(15K)
There are 0.25 kilometers in 250 meters
