what liquid property is defined as the spontaneous flow of a liquid into a narrow tube or porous material?
vapor pressure
volality
surface tension
capillary action
Brief Explanations
Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor above a liquid. Volatility refers to a liquid's tendency to vaporize. Surface tension is the cohesive force at a liquid's surface. Capillary action is the spontaneous flow of a liquid into narrow tubes/porous materials due to adhesion and cohesion.
