  • The angle of contact at the interface of water-glass is 0 o, ethylalcohol-glass is 0 o, mercury-glass is 140 o, and methyliodide-glass is 30 o.

The angle of contact at the interface of water-glass is 0^{\circ}, ethylalcohol-glass is 0^{\circ}, mercury-glass is 140^{\circ}, and methyl iodide-glass is 30^{\circ}. A glass capillary is put in a trough containing one of these four liquids. It is observed that the meniscus is convex. The liquid in the trough is

a) water

b) ethylalcohol

c) mercury

d) methyliodide

Answers (1)
