How does capillary action differ in water and mercury ?

Capillary action is due to

Write anode and cathode reactions that occur in dry cell. How does a dry cell differ from a mercury cell?

If a wax coated capillary tube is dipped in water, then water in it will-

Water rises to a height of 10 cm in a capillary tube and mercury falls to a depth of 3.42 cm in the same capillary tube. If the density of mercury is 13.6 g//c.c. and the angles of contact for mercury and water n for water and are 135^(2) and 0^@ , respectively, the ratio of surface, tension for water and mercury is

The lower end of a capillary tube is immersed in mercury. The level of mercury in the tube is found to be 2 cm below the outer level. If the same tube is immersed in water, up to what height will the water rise in the capillary ?

Water rises to a height of 10 cm in capillary tube and mercury falls to a depth of 3.112 cm in the same capillary tube. If the density of mercury is 13.6 and the angle of contact for mercury is 135^(@) , the ratio of surface tension of water and mercury is

How does the evaporation of water at ordinary temperature differ from that of boiling water ?

In the state of weightlessness, a capillary tube is dipped in water, then water
