Water will move higher in a narrow glass tube than in a wide glass tube because of?

It is because of Capillary action, the adhesive forces for water are effective in narrow tube, in a wide tube the weight of water resists the upwards movement of water.

Why when placed in a glass tube water touching the glass is pulled slightly upward?
Meniscus. Essentially it is because water adheres to the glass.
What do you call the ability of water to climb upward in narrow tubes?
The adhesive forces of the polar water molecules to the glass surface, breaks the surface tension of the water and causes a capillary action up the sides of the tube.
Why does a grape shrivel up when put in a glass of salt water?
Because the solute concentration in the salt water is higher then other solutions, in this case, a grape. the moisture is basically sucked out of the grape and the grape shrivels
Ordinary glass is filled to the brim with water If the temperature decreased how much water could be added to the glass?
It depends on: -The current temperature of the water. (If it was already cold, the water would probably decrease because both heat and cold causes water to increases) -The size of the glass. -How much the temperature decreases.
Why does dew produced when ice is in a glass?
Because the surface temperature of the glass gets colder than the dewpoint temperature of the air. Therefore the relative humidity goes over 100% on the glass causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water on the glass.
What amount of water make a higher note in a glass?
THE GLASS WITHOUT WATER MAKE A HIGHER THE GLASS WITHOUT WATER MAKE A HIGHER THE GLASS WITHOUT WATER MAKE A HIGHER THE GLASS WITHOUT WATER MAKE A HIGHER THE GLASS WITHOUT WATER MAKE A HIGHER
If you drop a marble into a glass of water the marble will sink because its?
Because the marble has a higher density than the water does
Would water evaporate faster in a wide glass than in a narrow?
Water evaporate faster in a wide glass than in a narrower glass.
Does water evaporate faster in a dark glass or clear glass?
It depends on how much light is shining on the glass. If there is a lot, then the water in the dark glass will evaporate faster because the temperature will be higher. If there is no light, then it does not matter.
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.
How do particles move in a glass of water?
I think you mean 'capillarity' which happens in very thin tubes because the adhesive forces between water and glass molecules is greater than the cohesive force between water molecules alone. In narrow tubes, this is enough to pull the liquid up the tube.
Does a glass of water evaporate faster than tequila?
NO Because the vapor pressure of alcohol is greater than water. The higher the V.P. the faster the rate of evaporation
Suppose you have a glass of water.it has the same temperature as the air. would an ice cube melt faster in water or the air?
Water because of its higher conductivity. it is the air
Does Water evaporate faster in a wide glass or narrow glass?
A tall, skinny glass will freeze water faster than a short, wide glass.This is because the tall glass allows convection (cold particles in the air to transfer cold to the water particles in the glass) to take place between more particles at once due to a tall glass having a larger surface area.
If You can pell a raw egg without breaking the membrane or melt away the shell in vinegar If you place it in a glass of water it will swell in size until it breaks why is that?
Water diffuses in from the glass because there is a higher concentration of salts in the egg.
What is a goblet glass?
A goblet is just a fancy glass. It usually has a cup that holds the liquid, a narrow stem, and a wide base. It is often made of cut glass and used to hold water or wine.
How can you make water in a glass evaporate faster?
heat it to a higher temp
