Fill the blanks: Soapy water has ________hydrogen bonds and _______surface tension than pure water.
Group of answer choices
a.More- more
b. Less – less
c. I do not know what soap is, so I cannot answer this question
d. Less – more
e. More- less
ANSWER - b, Less - less
EXPLANATION
Hydrogen bonds provides higher surface tension to a liquid and disrupting these hydrogen bonds, decreases the surface tension.
Soap molecules are composed of long chains of carbon, and hydrogen atoms and adding these soap molecules lowers the water's surface tension. Soap decreases the surface tension of water by weakening or breaking the hydrogen bonds of water.
