Question

state the meniscus fromed by
1.Mercury
2.Water​

Answer 1

Mercury - A concave meniscus, which is what you normally will see, occurs when the molecules of the liquid are attracted to those of the container. This occurs with water and a glass tube.

Water - Water molecules are attracted to the molecules in the wall of the glass beaker. And since water molecules like to stick together, when the molecules touching the glass cling to it, other water molecules cling to the molecules touching the glass, forming the meniscus

Mercury - concave

Water - convex
