The contact angle for a water droplet on wax is 112°. Assume that the surface tension for wax 0.023 N/m. What is the value of the interfacial tension between water and wax at 25°C?
What will be an ideal response?
From Table 3.2 the surface tension of water is 0.072 N/m. Inserting the known values into Young’s equation results in:
