Question 2. 1. The Du-Nuoy ring method employs a hollow ring with radius 10 mm to measure oil-water interfacial tension (IFT). Assume a perfectly wetting ring was used for the experiment (Figure 1). Figure 1: Du-Nuoy Ring used to measure interfacial tension a. In an experiment involving the measurement of liquid A – water IFT, the total weight measured by the instrument was 0.5 grams. The weight of the hollow ring used was 0.05 grams. Assuming a perfectly wetting ring, what is the IFT for liquid A-water in mN/m? b. If the experiment used a solid ring of weight 0.05 grams to measure liquid A-water IFT, what net force (in Newton) would the instrument measure? c. The hollow ring (used in part la) was used to measure liquid B – water IFT and the net weight measured by the instrument was now 0.2 grams. What is the liquid B – water IFT in mN/m? d. Can you comment on which liquid (A or B) is more miscible with water? Why? State any assumptions that you would make while performing this experiment.
