Important Questions on Viscosity and Surface Tension

EASY
NEET
IMPORTANT

Assertion: A needle placed carefully on the surface of water may float.

Reason: A needle placed carefully on the surface of water may float due to surface tension as upward force due to surface tension balances the weight of the needle.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: The angle of contact does not depend upon the inclination of the solid in the liquid.

Reason: The angle of contact depends on cohesive and adhesive forces.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: Surface tension of liquid decreases with increase in temperature.

Reason: Cohesive force between liquid molecules increase with increase in the temperature.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: A thin stainless steel needle can lay floating on still water surface.

Reason: Any object floats when the buoyant force balances the weight of the object.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: Surface energy of an oil drop is same whether placed on glass or water surface.

Reason: Surface energy is dependent only on the properties of oil.

IMPORTANT
Assertion : Soil particles inside water are freely placed but they stick together when taken out of water.
Reason : Thin film formed creates pressure difference.

IMPORTANT

Assertion: When temperature of a liquid is increased, then its surface tension decreases.

Reason: Kinetic energy and oscillations of molecules increases, so intermolecular force of attraction decreases.
