Does liquid water rise higher in a narrow tube or a wide tube?
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.
What word is used for a solid dissolved in liquid?
It is called suspension (of fine solids or precipitate).
Can a liquid dissolve a gas?
There are a number of ways in which a gas could dissolve in a liquid. It could bind with the liquid molecules.
What product produced by yeats cells during fermentation causes bread to rise?
Carbon dioxide.
What makes macaroni rise and fall when it is cooking?
It may that when you heat macaroni its starch content reduces surface tension and causes the water to rise.Addition of oil may reduce its rise.
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.
What we called the tendency of liquid molecules to rise spontaneously up tubes with narrow diameters?
That is capillary attraction.
What makes a liquid a solid?
a loss in energy cause the change from liquid to solid like-wise a rise in energy causes a change from solid to liquid.
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.
As heat energy is added to a liquid do the particles increase or decrease in movement?
As heat energy is supplied to a liquid, its temperature rises. The rise of temperature causes a rise in the kinetic energy of the particles; which happens when the speed of the particles increases.
When the block was placed in the liquid why did the liquid rise?
The matter of the block displaced the water causing the water to rise
What force that causes an airplane to rise?
Lift is the force that causes an airplane to rise. Lift is caused by the flowing of air under the wings. This causes the airplane to rise.
The property that liquids rise in a narrow spaces is called?
capillarity
Why does a liquid rise in a medicine dropper when you release the bulb?
why does liquid rise in medicine dropper when we release the bulb of the dropper
When heated bubbles rise to surface?
bubbles rise to the surface of a heated liquid as it changes to gas because they are less dense than the liquid.
How does fermentation that causes dough rise?
Carbon dioxide
What causes the cake to rise?
Yeast.
