} Surface tension is the property of a liquid in
contact with air that makes it behave as if it
was covered with a thin membrane under
tension.
Surface & Interfacial Tension
Abd Karim Alias, 2013

} The molecule inside the liquid interact
equally with other molecule, from all sides,
whereas the molecule at the surface is
affected only by the molecule below it ⇒
the molecules exposed to air behave
differently & try to contract to the smallest
possible area (hence spherical shape).

} Surface tension (N/m) is defined as the
force acting over the surface of the liquid
per unit length of the surface
perpendicular to the force.

} Surface tension (γs) can also be defined as
the amount of energy (∆E) required to
increase the surface area between a liquid
and a gas (e.g. air and water) by an amount
∆A:
∆E = γs∆A
} Interfacial tension (γi) is defined as the
amount of energy required to increase the
interfacial area between two immiscible
liquids (e.g. oil & water).

}  One very important quality of the
colloids is the large interfacial area
between the dispersed & the
continuous phase
Importance of Large Interfacial Area
Abd Karim Alias, 2013

We have 20 cm3 of oil in 1
cm radius droplets. Each
has a volume of (4/3.π.r3)
5.5 cm3 and a surface area
of (4.π.r2) 12.5 cm2.
⇒ We can have about 3.6
droplets ∴ we would have
a total area of 45.5 cm2
The same oil is split into 0.1
cm radius droplets, each has
a volume of 0.004 cm3 and a
surface area 0.125 cm2.
⇒ We can have about 5000
droplets ∴ we would have a
total area of 625 cm2!

  • 2. 2   } Surface tension is the property of a liquid in contact with air that makes it behave as if it was covered with a thin membrane under tension. Surface & Interfacial Tension Abd Karim Alias, 2013
  • 3. 3   } The molecule inside the liquid interact equally with other molecule, from all sides, whereas the molecule at the surface is affected only by the molecule below it ⇒ the molecules exposed to air behave differently & try to contract to the smallest possible area (hence spherical shape). Surface & Interfacial Tension Abd Karim Alias, 2013
  • 4. 4   } Surface tension (N/m) is defined as the force acting over the surface of the liquid per unit length of the surface perpendicular to the force. Surface & Interfacial Tension Abd Karim Alias, 2013

  • 6. 6   } Surface tension (γs) can also be defined as the amount of energy (∆E) required to increase the surface area between a liquid and a gas (e.g. air and water) by an amount ∆A: ∆E = γs∆A } Interfacial tension (γi) is defined as the amount of energy required to increase the interfacial area between two immiscible liquids (e.g. oil & water).

  • 7. 7   }  One very important quality of the colloids is the large interfacial area between the dispersed & the continuous phase Importance of Large Interfacial Area Abd Karim Alias, 2013
  • 8. 8   We have 20 cm3 of oil in 1 cm radius droplets. Each has a volume of (4/3.π.r3) 5.5 cm3 and a surface area of (4.π.r2) 12.5 cm2. ⇒ We can have about 3.6 droplets ∴ we would have a total area of 45.5 cm2 The same oil is split into 0.1 cm radius droplets, each has a volume of 0.004 cm3 and a surface area 0.125 cm2. ⇒ We can have about 5000 droplets ∴ we would have a total area of 625 cm2!
