Pure water has a surface tension of 0.0728?/?. Soap water has a surface tension of 0.025?/?. A soap boat was made with a mass of 0.5? and a square surface area of 2?? × 2??. Show that the soap boat can stay afloat on both pure water and soap water solely with the force of surface tension. Calculate the acceleration of the boat on pure water when a drop of soap is added to the rear edge of the boat.

The surface tension of pure water is 72 dyne/cm at 20C. You are provided with two surfactants, A and B. A 1% solution of surfactant A reduced the surface tension of water to 35 dynes/cm and a 1% solution of surfactant B reduces the surface tension to 44.5 dynes/cm. Now, let's assume that you are making two foams using surfactants A and B. The total interfacial area of the foam in both cases is 600 cm^2. What is the interfacial...

5. Surface energy (2 pts). Let’s use the concept of surface tension as surface energy per unit area to see if we can estimate, at least to the correct order of magnitude, the surface tension of water. a) Water has a molar mass of 18 g/mol and a density of 1000 kg/m3 (or 1 g/cm3). Based on this data, estimate the number of water molecules per unit surface area of water. b) The coordination number of water (i.e., the average...
