Question

How does the surface tension of a liquid vary with increase in temperature ?

A. Remains same
B. Decreases  
C. Increases
D. No regular pattern is followed
Answer :   Decreases
Solution :
Increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules and effectiveness of intermolecular attraction decreases, so surface tension decreases as the temperature is raised.
