No. There are many substance other than water that are liquid at room temperature. A few example include Mercury, ethanol (beverage alcohol), and acetone. Additionally, some substances such as propane and butane, which are normally gasses, can be stored as liquids under pressure.

∙ 14y agoNo, water is not the only liquid that forms a meniscus, most other liquids form them as well. However, different liquids can have different types of menisci. For example: water's meniscus will be convex (bulging out), but oil will have a concave meniscus (looking like a depression in the surface).

Law of lower and upper meniscus levels in determining liquid solution?
In measuring liquids using graduated cylinder, there are two things to consider. 1.) CLEAR LIQUID and 2.) COLORED LIQUID (as we may say) In identifying the volume of CLEAR LIQUID (e.g. plain water, oil, alcohol, etc.), THE LOWER MENISCUS is read. For the COLORED LIQUID (e.g. soy sauce, ketchup, etc. ) the upper meniscus is get, since there is only one meniscus there.. (meaning there is no upper & lower meniscus.)
What type of liquid does metal rust the fastest in?
Water with oxygen (air). However, only one metal 'rusts' . It is IRON and forms iron oxide (rust). Other metals do NOT rust. They form 'oxides.
What happens when you put ice cubes into liquid water?
This is called Phase Change.Water is one of the few matters that can become a liquid, solid, and gas. If you freeze water, which is in a liquid state, it changes into a solid state. If you heat the liquid, you see the liquid escaping in the form of bubbles and changing into a gaseous state. These states of matter are only the physical properties. There is no change in its chemical composition. Ice and water vapor continue to be water in different forms or states.
Can water only exist as a liquid?
no, it can be ice and snow and it can be evaporated
What is the density of water in the solid state compared to that in the liquid state?
Ice has about 91.5% of the density of water. It floats because it is less dense than water.

What laboratory apparatus does not have a meniscus?
A meniscus it the curve of a liquid when it adheres to the side of its container. Only glassware used for measuring volumes of liquids have a meniscus. The scale.
How do you use a graduate?
A meniscus is the curvature of the surface of the water. Water "sticks" to the walls of the graduated cylinder, but only on the sides and not the middle, so you measure water from the meniscus

What state forms when a vapor condences?
Vapor condenses to form liquid. Go to the bathroom and turn on the shower but only the hot water. You'll notice that there's steam/water vapor. Look at your mirror and watch as liquid water forms.
What forces create the meniscus you see at the top of a liquid when you measure it?
The meniscus is created by adhesive forces between the glass and the water. THis means that the water water molecules are attracted to the glass so they can creep up the glass to a small degree. The water molecules are also attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding. These are called cohesive forces and they allows the water that creeps up the glass to bring other water molecules with them. The cohesive forces and adhesive forces can only resist gravity to a certain degree so in the middle the liquid curves downward.
How many planets have liquid water on them?
Earth. Cause you can look on a planet map and earth is the only one with blue on it..
Uses of a graduated cylinder?
1. Look at the liquid at eye level 2. Measure from the meniscus (the curved line at the surface of the liquid) 3. Be sure to measure your intervals (the value of each measurement line on the cylinder)
Why is earth the only planet in the solar system that is mostly water?
Earth lies in the Godlilocks region of our Sun. The perfect conditions for water to exist in 3 forms: Ice, Liquid and Water vapour.
Is water a liquid and a gas?
No, it can only be liquid the reason why is that gas floats around and liquid holds the shape of its container. So water can only possibly be liquid.
Is water only a liquid?
no, water is a liquid (regular water), solid (ice), and a gas (water vapor).
Is water the only object that can be a liquid and soild and gas?
water is the only object that can be a liquid(water),solid(ice)and gas(vapor).
