How does soap water membrane thickness affect surface tension?

In summary, the conversation discusses the changes in surface tension of soap water when the thickness and concentration are altered. It is mentioned that if the thickness decreases while maintaining the concentration, the surface tension will change. Similarly, if the membrane of soap water evaporates, causing the thickness to decrease and concentration to increase, the surface tension will also change. However, before providing any further assistance, the person requesting help is reminded to show their own attempt at solving the problem.

Homework. Moved to Introductory Physics.
1.If the thickness of soap water surface decrease, whereas the concentration remain the same, how will the surface tension change?

2. If the membrane of soap water start to evaporate, its thickness become thinner and it’s concentration increase, How will the surface tension change?

Thank you!
