Water molecules is very polar. Polar end of molecule attracts opposite charges on another water molecules (acts like magnet). How will you explain this property of water with refrence to upward movement of water? Comment on the upward move-ment of water given the intermolecular hydrogen bonding in water.

In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid 1mL of oleic acid is dissolved in 19 mL of alcohol. Then 1 mL of this solution is diluted to 20 mL by adding alcohol. Now 1 drop of this diluted solution is placed on water in a shallow trough. The solution spreads over the surface of water forming one molecule thick layer. Now, lycopodium powder is sprinkled evenly over the film and its diameter is measured. Knowing the volume of the drop and area of the film we can calculate the thickness of the film which will give us the size of oleic acid molecule. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions : How will you calculate the volume of n drops of this solution of oleic acid ?
