Why is water rise in capillary tube wheras mercury falls in capillary tube?
i dont know ha ha ha
What has greatest capillary action?
The narrower the bore of the tube ,the greater is the capillary action. For example :A sponge retains water (on being dipped in water)is due to capillary action.
What determines how high water will climb in a capillary tube?
sweet potatoes
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

The height of a liquid in a capillary tube is not dependent on?
the height of a capillary tube is not dependent on
The rise of water in a narrow test tube is called?
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.
How high can water rise in a capillary tube 30 micrometers in diameter?
4.6
Why mercury falls in capillary tube?
because,the adhesive force of mercury in more compared to the cohesive force which acts on a capillary tube. that's why mercury falls in capillary tube
How high can water rise in a capillary tube that is 0.1 millimeters in diameter?
2 inches
What will happen to the water in the capillary tube during the investigation of osmosis?
It will increase due to osmosis
Does liquid water rinse higher in a narrow tube or a wide tube?
You mean rise not rinse. Higher in a narrow tube due to capillary action.
