Think of how liquids act in straws or towels.
Which force causes water to rise in a capillary tube?
Remember 'adhere' for adhesive!
What phenomenon describes the ability of a liquid to rise in a narrow tube?
Think of how liquids behave in straws.
True or False: Mercury rises in a narrow tube due to capillary action.
Recall the behavior of mercury in tubes.
You have two liquids: liquid A has strong cohesive forces, and liquid B has strong adhesive forces. If both are placed in a capillary tube, which liquid will rise higher and why?
Compare the properties of both liquids.
Describe how you would demonstrate capillarity using two different liquids (e.g., water and oil) in two separate wider tubes. Predict what happens.
Consider the differences in their molecular attraction to the tube.
