Answer:
Forces between similar molecules are said to be <em>cohesive</em> while those between different types of molecules are said to be <em>adhesive</em>.
Water 'beads' due to its strong <em>cohesive</em> forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is <em>concave</em> because the <em>adhesive</em> forces are strong.
Explanation:
The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.
Carbon(C):
number of moles= mass/molar mass(Mr)
=65.5/12
=5.5 moles
Hydrogen(H):
number of moles=mass/molar mass (Mr)
=5.5/1
=5.5 moles
Oxygen (O):
number of moles = mass/molar mass (Mr)
=29.0/16
=1.8 moles
EF= lowest number of moles over each of the elements
So,
C= 5.5/1.8 = 3
H= 5.5/1.8 = 3
O= 1.8/1.8 = 1
Therefore Emperical formula= C3H3O
