About this document
Surface Tension Measurement via Capillary Rise by Matthijs Riemersma is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes a procedure to determine the surface tension of a liquid using the capillary rise method. Capillary tubes of different radii are filled with the liquid and the height of the liquid rise is measured using a traveling microscope. The surface tension is then calculated using the measured heights and radii in the equation γ = 2ρgrh/1. Precise measurements and clean apparatus are important to obtain accurate results.
