Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.64PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
In a buret, the direction of meniscus curve depends on the adhesion and cohesion forces of the liquid.
Concept introduction:
Surface tension is an energy that is required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit area.
It occurs due to imbalance in strength of intermolecular forces, the cohesive forces between the liquid particles.
