Understand the Problem

The question appears to be asking about a procedure involving the demonstration of the strength of hydrogen bonds using a syringe and weights. It seeks to understand the forces involved when manipulating the syringe with water and measuring the required force to increase the volume of water in the syringe to a specified amount.

Answer

Weights measure force needed; significant due to water resistance to compression.

The text suggests using weights to measure the force necessary to increase the water's volume in the syringe to 10 cm³. This force compensates for both atmospheric pressure and adhesive forces on the plunger.

The text suggests using weights to measure the force necessary to increase the water's volume in the syringe to 10 cm³. This force compensates for both atmospheric pressure and adhesive forces on the plunger.

More Information

Water's resistance to compression means large forces are needed to increase its volume. Hydrogen bonds between water molecules add to this resistance.

Tips

Omitting the effect of adhesive forces or not accounting for the liquid's incompressibility can lead to incorrect calculations.
