How is surface tension related to boiling point in liquid water?

a. high surface tension causes boiling point to decrease.
b. high surface tension causes boiling point to increase.
c. surface tension is related to melting point but not to boiling point.
d. surface tension is related to vapor pressure but not to boiling point.

High surface tension causes boiling point to increase.

Explanation:

The surface tension is related to the psychical forces between the molecules. Increasing the surface tension will increase the amount of energy (heat) needed to take the molecules apart and go from liquid state to vapor state, so the boiling point of the particular liquid will increase.

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.
