The students in ms. hill's science class were investigating the properties of water. they placed a piece of celery in a beaker of blue water. the next day, the celery was no longer green, but blue, all the way up to the leaves. what property of water best explains why the blue water moved up the celery stalk? a) buoyancy b) specific heat c) surface tension d) capillary action

The most appropriate answer would be D) capillary action.

Capillary action refers to the movement of water through the spaces available in porous medium without the help of external forces.

Forces like cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension help in the capillary action of the water.

Capillary action takes place when the magnitude of adhesive forces (attraction of water molecules towards organic compound such as a capillary) is more than that of cohesive forces (attractive forces between the molecules of water).

In plants, xylem act as capillaries through which water is pulled from the roots to the stem and other parts of the plant.

In science class also the capillary action causes the uptake of blue water throughout the body of celery due to which it becomes blue in color.

measuring physical properties lab reportinstructions: in the physical properties lab, you will test the physical properties of different building materials in order to pick the appropriate materials for a new home in tiny world. record your observations and test measurements in the lab report below. youwill submit your completed report.name and title: lyric lawton, mr.herbert, 10/13/17, physical properties lab. objective(s): i need to parvus build his house out of the right material, so he will stay cool in the mountains.hypothesis: if we use wood to build the roof of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.if we use clay brick to build the walls and floors of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.if we use aluminium to bring electricity into the home, then it will allow electricity to flow into the home at a faster rate.if we use iron to construct the latches on the windows and doors, then the magnetism will keep the latches secure.
