Physical Pharmacy (https://labmonk.com/category/physical-pharmacy)

BACKGROUND
The stalagmometer consist of a glass capillary tube with a bulb at the middle.There is a capillary bore at th
stalagmometer. The surface tension of the liquid can be calculated using following formula.1-3
Where, v1 =surface tension of test liquid
v2 =surface tension of water
ρ1&ρ2 =Density of test liquid &water
n1=no.of drops of test liquid
n2=no .of drops of water
Aim: To determine the surface tension of given liquid by drop count method using stalagmometer.

REQUIREMENTS

Apparatus: Stalagmometer,
Beakers,
Measuring cylinder.
Chemicals: Water,
Acetone,
Ethanol,
Benzene.

The liquid which is to e tested was sucked into the clean stalagmometer upto mark A. Then it was allowed to fall
gravity. The no. Of drops were calculated when the liquid passes from mark A to B.
The procedure was repeated 3 times to obtain the mean value.Then the surface tension can be calculated using abo

CONCLUSION
From the above expt. We concluded that the surface tension of the given liquid is found to be————-.
