Question

adhesive forces between water molecules and glass molecules help water rise in the tube against gravity. cohesive forces hold water molecules together as water rises in the tube. water will continue to rise in the tube as long as the adhesive forces are greater than the downward force of gravity. the smaller the diameter of the glass tube, the higher the water will rise. select the true statements. strong adhesive forces between water molecules cause water to rise in a capillary tube. water rises farther in a narrow glass tube than in a wide glass tube. water rises until it reaches the end of a capillary tube. water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds as they rise in a capillary tube.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Adhesive forces between water - glass molecules and cohesive forces (hydrogen - bonded water molecules) are key in capillary action. Smaller tube diameter leads to greater rise. Water rises until adhesive - gravitational force balance (or end of tube if reached).

Answer:

  • Water rises farther in a narrow glass tube than in a wide glass tube.
  • Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds as they rise in a capillary tube.
