Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is true of the capillary action of liquids?

A) The capillary action of a liquid entirely depends on the strength of the adhesive forces.
B) If the adhesive forces are weaker than the cohesive forces, then the liquid in the capillary rises to the level where the downward force of gravity exactly balances this upward force.
C) If the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive forces, the liquid in the tube will have a convex meniscus.
D) If the cohesive forces are weaker than the adhesive forces, the liquid pulls itself down into the capillary below the surface of the bulk liquid to minimize contact with the glass.
E) If the cohesive forces are weaker than the adhesive forces, the liquid in the tube will have a convex meniscus.
