(N/A) The surface tension of a liquid decreases as its temperature increases.
Because the hot soup has lower surface tension,it spreads more easily over a larger surface area of the tongue.
This allows the soup to come into contact with a greater number of taste buds,which enhances the perception of its flavor,making it taste better than cold soup.

Describe a simple experiment for the measurement of the surface tension of a liquid.

$A$ drop of some liquid of volume $0.04 \ cm^{3}$ is placed on the surface of a glass slide. Then another glass slide is placed on it in such a way that the liquid forms a thin layer of area $20 \ cm^{2}$ between the surfaces of the two slides. To separate the slides a force of $16 \times 10^{5} \ dyne$ has to be applied normal to the surfaces. The surface tension of the liquid is (in $dyne \ cm^{-1}$):

The surface tension of most of the liquids decreases with a rise in:

The length of a needle floating on the surface of water is $1.5\,cm$. The force in addition to its weight required to lift the needle from the water surface will be...... $N$ (surface tension of water $= 7.5\,N/cm$).
