Which choice is not true of a liquid in a glass capillary with a convex meniscus?

Which choice is not true of a liquid in a glass capillary with a convex meniscus?

The liquid has strong cohesive forces.

The liquid level will be lower inside the capillary when a capillary is inserted into a bowl of the liquid.

The liquid will have a convex meniscus as it moves in the capillary.

The behavior of the liquid is driven by strong interactions with the capillary glass.

I believe The liquid has strong cohesive forces.

Rylie Bradford · Answer 2

It's false that the liquid has strong cohesive forces (since cohesive forces mean the liquid is essentially attracted to itself, and that would result in a concave meniscus).
