When water is placed in a thin glass tube it tends to climb up the walls of the tube. This effect is known as capillary action. What causes this capillary action?
Hydrogen Bonding
What is an effect that adhesion produces?
Adhesion produces capillary action. Capillary action is liquid's ability to flow in narrow spaces without external forces like gravity.

What does adhesion produce an effect of when you place a straw in a liquid?
Adhesion produces the effect of capillary action when a straw is placed in liquid. Capillary action is liquid's ability to flow in narrow spaces without external forces like gravity.
What is the relation of the donnan effect to osmotic pressure on capillary and on pH?
the effect of Donnan effect to osmotic pressure on capillary is that it gives the capillary the ability to *some text missing*
Name the process plants could use to pump salts out of their roots?
osmosis
Why there is capillary action and why the effect is greater for narrower tubes?
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.
Why should you open the windows when you are soldering?
You should always open the window when you are soldering because you can breath in toxic fumes which could effect you health!
What is the capillary effect?
When water rises from the soil by the roots of the plant. The capillary effect is done in a lot of things. Example: When water is obsorbed by the paper up the toilet paper tube.
Why the colour of ice is white?
Due to combination of polarization and capillary effect
How do weak hydrogen bonds between water have an effect on organisms?
A combination of adhesive and cohesive forces accounts for capillary action, which is the tendency of water to move through narrow tube's, and even against gravity.
What is meaning of corrosion?
The action or effect of corrosive agents, or the process of corrosive change; as, the rusting of iron is a variety of corrosion.
