Explain the rise of water in a glass capillary tube using the kinetic theory.
Explanation
Glass and water are made up of molecules. The force of attraction between glass molecules and water molecules is stronger than that among water molecules, hence the resultant force acts upwards leading to the rise of water in the glass tube.
