The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension.]]> 2017-04-26 13:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/168355189 66437 https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/168357201 On a waxed car, the raindrops fall on the surface of the car and they smoothly slide down the side keeping the car neat and clean.  ]]> 2017-04-26 13:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/168357201 66437 https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/168362664 Without surface tension, nothing would be able to float not even dust particles.

Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the walls is stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules.

Surface Tension is only possible due to the attractivness between the molecules in the liquid, which is why the liquid's surface area is able to expand out when it looks like it should be falling off. Since the attractivness of molecules is different in every substance, the intermolecular forces is why all liquids have different surface tensions.]]> 2017-04-27 13:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/168621470 66437 https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/168624460 Surface tension relates to the water cycle in the face that it helps limit the amount of evaporation occurs. Due to surface tension of the ocean's sticky surface, the amount of evaportation is limited to only so much. This helps preserve the amount of liquid water in the earth at a given time. ]]> 2017-04-27 13:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/168624460 66437 https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/168626273 A real world application is when a straw is inside a cup of water and the water in the straw looks like it has climbed up and is higher than the water in the glass. Another example of capillary action is how a plant absorbs water, even if you pour the water in one spot, the dirt will spread out so that all the plant gets water.]]> 2017-04-27 13:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/168626273 55021 https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/168865899 Capillary action can be seen in the water cycle when a plant uptakes water through its roots in the ground.  ]]> 2017-04-28 13:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/168865899 66437 https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/169831410 It relates to chemistry because there is cohesive forces, surface tension, and adhesive force happening in capillary action. ]]> 2017-05-04 02:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/169831410 66437 https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/169832372 https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8pC-sIJPSaAUVJjbkE0ZUtPNVk]]> 2017-05-04 02:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/169832372 66437 https://padlet.com/66437/johalzzpa2gc/wish/169838652 It use for capillary action is a source of renewable energy. Water climbs through capillaries and evaporates once it reaches top[. Then the condensate and drop back down to the bottom spinning a turbine to create electricity.
