Correct Answer: At room temperature, the surface tension of water is less than ethyl alcohol.


Solution : The correct option is At room temperature the surface tension of water is less than ethyl alcohol .

Water has a greater surface tension than ethyl alcohol at a normal temperature. At room temperature, the surface tension of water is around 72 mN/m, whereas that of ethyl alcohol is roughly 22 mN/m. The higher degree of hydrogen bonding between water molecules in the bulk liquid is the cause of this discrepancy.
