Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 28PS
When water is placed in a buret it forms a concave meniscus at the surface. In contrast, mercury (in a manometer for example) forms a convex meniscus (Figure 11.17). Explain why this phenomenon occurs, and why the two liquids give different results. Predict the meniscus shape if the buret is filled with ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH).
Meniscus
Water in glass tubes (right) is attracted to the polar ‒OH groups on the surface of glass and so water forms a downward facing or concave meniscus. Mercury, however, is not attracted to the glass surface, and so forms a convex meniscus (left).
