It is because of the surface tension between liquid molecules and the inner surface of the tube. The meniscus height is determined by the inner diameter of the tube. The smaller the diameter, the higher the meniscus will climb due to capillary action.
The force that causes liquids to rise in a narrow tube is called capillary action. This phenomenon occurs due to the combination of adhesive forces between the liquid and the tube walls and cohesive forces within the liquid itself. Capillary action is more pronounced in narrower tubes due to the increased surface area for interaction between the liquid and the walls.
The liquid was pulled into the small tube by capillary action.
Rise or fall of liquid in a small passage or tube. When a glass tube of small internal diameter is inserted into water, the surface water molecules are attracted to the glass and the water level in the tube rises. The narrower the tube, the higher the water rises. The water is said to "wet" the tube. Water will also be drawn into the fibres of a towel, even if the towel is in a horizontal position. Conversely, if a glass tube is inserted into mercury, the level of the liquid in the tube falls. The mercury does not wet the tube. Capillarity is caused by the difference in attraction of the liquid molecules to each other and the attraction of the liquid molecules to those of the tube.
In chemistry... it's a thin open-ended glass tube for collecting small amounts of liquid. Inserting one end of the tube into liquid allows the liquid to flow upqwards. When the liquid reaches a suitable height, a finger placed over the open end (towards the top) holds the liquid in the tube - for transferring from one place to another.
No, a stalagmometer is not used for viscosity measurement. It is used to determine the surface tension of a liquid by measuring the time taken for a drop to fall through a capillary tube. Viscosity is typically measured using viscometers or rheometers.
deduce an expression for height of a liquid in capillary tube. also write practical applications of capillary action.
Liquid rises in a capillary tube due to capillary action, which is the result of adhesive and cohesive forces between the liquid and the tube. Adhesive forces between the liquid and the tube's surface cause the liquid to be attracted to the tube, while cohesive forces within the liquid molecules help pull the liquid up the tube against gravity.
The phenomenon is known as capillary action. It occurs due to intermolecular forces between the liquid molecules and the solid surface of the tube, causing the liquid to either rise or fall, depending on the properties of the liquid and the tube.
The 'capillary effect'. See the link.
This is due to Surface Tension. The molecules/atoms of the liquid are atrracted by the particles of the solid and thus the liquid rises in the capilliary tube.
Liquid rises in and out of cappilarry to compansate pressure difference. Rise of a liquid in capillary is indirectly proportional to radius of tube so liquid goes higher in a narrow tube.
You mean rise not rinse. Higher in a narrow tube due to capillary action.
the height of a capillary tube is not dependent on
The rise around the edges is called the meniscus, like capillary action this is caused by the adhesion of the liquid molecules to the walls of the container. In a large bore tube like a test tube or graduated cylinder this pulls up the edge and creates a concave meniscus, in a smaller bore tube this actually pulls the liquid toward the top of the tube.

Mercury is more dense than water.
The constriction in a thermometer is a narrow region in the capillary tube where the liquid (like mercury or alcohol) is forced to flow through. This helps to amplify the rise or fall in temperature, making it easier to read.
