Question:
The factor responsible for lower mercury level ina capillary tube is
The factor responsible for lower mercury level ina capillary tube is
Updated On: Jun 23, 2023
- high density
- surface tension
- liquid state
- viscosity resistance
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
It is due to viscosity resistance. The interparticle forces between mercury atoms are stronger than the interparticle forces between mercury and glass

Concepts Used:
Surface Tension
The amount of energy required to increase the liquid's surface area by one unit area is known as surface tension. In other words, it is a property of the liquid surface to resist force.
Surface tension is defined as,
The ratio of the surface force F to the length L along which the force acts.
Mathematically, the surface tension formula can be expressed as follows:
T=F/L
Where,
- F is the force per unit length
- L is the length in which force act
- T is the surface tension of the liquid

Factors affecting surface tension:
- Impurities: The surface tension decreases with the addition of impurities.
- Surfactants: Adding surfactants in liquids lowers the tension of water making it interrupt aside or get susceptible.
- Temperature: The surface tension of a liquid reduces as the temperature rises.
The Unit of Surface Tension:
The SI unit of Surface Tension is Newton per Meter or N/m.
