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. water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds as they rise in a capillary tube. strong adhesive forces between water molecules cause water to rise in a capillary tube. water rises until it reaches the end of a capillary tube. water rises farther in a narrow glass tube than in a wide glass tube.

Explanation:

• Water molecules have hydrogen - bonding which is a type of cohesive force holding them together as they rise in a capillary tube.
• Adhesive forces between water and glass molecules, not between water molecules themselves, cause water to rise in a capillary tube.
• Water rises until the adhesive forces are balanced by the downward force of gravity, not necessarily until it reaches the end of the tube.
• The smaller the diameter of the glass tube (narrower tube), the higher the water will rise due to the greater relative effect of adhesive and cohesive forces.

Answer:

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