a. In the absence of a phase change, the viscosity of a liquid increases as temperature
decreases.
b. All other factors being equal, if adhesive forces are strong, capillary action is likely to
occur less readily than if adhesive forces are weak.
c. The shape of a meniscus depends on the difference between the strengths of cohesive
forces and adhesive forces.
d. Coating glass with a nonpolar polymer greatly reduces the adhesion of the water to the
glass.
e. Capillary action helps plant roots take up water</p>
