Question

capillary action is the process of water molecules moving upwards through a narrow tube, such
what is one characteristic of water that causes this process?
denisity
solubility
adhesion
polarity

Explanation:

Capillary action occurs due to the adhesive forces between water molecules and the walls of the narrow tube (adhesion) and the cohesive forces between water molecules (cohesion). Among the given options, adhesion is directly related to capillary action. Density refers to mass per unit volume, solubility is the ability to dissolve, and polarity is about charge distribution. Only adhesion plays a role in capillary action as it allows water to stick to the tube walls and move upwards.

Answer:

C. Adhesion
