does the wettability increase if the surface tention decrease?
Added by Nada B.
Step 1
Surface tension is the elastic tendency of a fluid surface which makes it acquire the least surface area possible. If the surface tension of a liquid decreases, it means the liquid can spread out more easily. This could potentially increase the wettability of a Show more…

As the volume of an object is increased, its surface area also increases. During this increase, does the ratio of square meters to cubic meters increase or decrease?
Let’s say I have a blow-up chair that I like to use at the beach. Now I’m a big person, so when I sit down in this chair, it shrinks down and the volume decreases. Given what you learned in Part 1 about the relationship between Volume and Pressure, would the Pressure increase or decrease?

The pressure of a fluid always decreases during an adiabatic throttling process. Is this also the case for the temperature?
