                    The surface tension of which of the following liquid is maximum?                                            

    A)                 \[{{H}_{2}}O\]

    B)                 \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    C)                         \[C{{H}_{3}}OH\]

    D)                 \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Surface tension of \[{{H}_{2}}O\] is maximum due to maximum hydrogen bonding in comparison to \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{6}},\,C{{H}_{3}}OH,\] \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]. The order of H-bonding is                 \[{{H}_{2}}O>C{{H}_{3}}OH>{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]                 (Benzene does not form H-bond).
