Test yourself 1-3 Q.1 Stearic acid is used for making soap. The melting and boiling points
of Stearic and are 70°C and 281°C respectively. Sketch a graph
to show the changes in temperature when mollen stearic acid is
cooled to room temperature.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .
