Question

3 which property of water causes the meniscus shown in the image below? (1pt) a surface tension b cohesion c adhesion d heat capacity

Explanation:

Adhesion is the attraction between water molecules and the molecules of the container's surface. This causes water to 'cling' to the sides of the container, forming a meniscus. Surface tension is related to the cohesive forces within water itself, cohesion is the attraction between water - water molecules, and heat capacity is related to the amount of heat water can absorb.

Answer:

C. adhesion
