Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have two liquids: liquid A has strong cohesive forces, and liquid B has strong adhesive forces. If both are placed in a capillary tube, which liquid will rise higher and why?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Compare the properties of both liquids.

Question 2

Describe how you would demonstrate capillarity using two different liquids (e.g., water and oil) in two separate wider tubes. Predict what happens.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the differences in their molecular attraction to the tube.
