What forces are dominant when a liquid in a tube is such that the liquid is higher along the edges of the tube than in the middle of the tube?
A. Adhesive forces
B. Cohesive forces
C. Miscible forces
D. Immiscible forces
A
Miscible and immiscible describe whether a liquid can mix with another liquid. Cohesive forces hold the molecules of the liquid together; adhesive forces hold the molecules of the liquid to the container. When the adhesive forces dominate, the described situation results.
