What property of water gives rise to capillary action?
Cohesion force among the molecules of water allows for capillary action in plants.
What you is a force from water that pushes up?
capillary action
What is a force from water that pushes up?
capillary action
Is Mercury heavier than water?
Yes it is. Do not play with mercury!
Does mercury exert more pressure than water?
mercury exerts more pressure than water bcause mercury is a metal and water is a non metal obviously mercury weighs more than water
Why does mercury fall downwards and water rise upwards when placed in a capillary tube?
Mercury is more dense than water.
Is capillary action a product of adhesion?
The adhesive force of wetting liquids specially water is responsible for capillary action, the capillary action is not possible for Mercury.
How does the mercury from the air enter the water supply?
Since mercury is so heavy it falls out of the air. Landing on the ground (and water) and getting washed into our waterways and oceans.
When the osmotic pressure in a capillary exceeds the blood pressure in the capillary what is the net movement of fluid?
water and waste will move in capillary . water and waste will move in capillary .
Capillary action occurs when water rises from the water table into?
The capillary fringe
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 the hypothesis for the capillary action?
Capillary action will pull water up the stem to the flower and into the petals.
What is capillary action. Why is capillary action extremely important for plants?
Water uses capillary action to "climb" up plant vessels through cohesion and adhesion, which allows the water to be transported throughout the plant.
Why is capillary action insufficient to move water through a plant?
Capillary action is not sufficient to lift water against gravity after certain height .
Capillary action affect the movement of water underground?
Capillary action forces water upward. So it takes the water from underground causing it to affect the movement of water under ground
What property of water gives rise to capillary action?
Cohesion force among the molecules of water allows for capillary action in plants.
Which property of water results in a meniscus?
Adhesion due to the polarity of the water molecule.
