Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Plastic, metal, and glass have cohesive forces between the molecules that are strong enough to prevent any movement under normal circumstances. Jell-O's viscosity will increase with low temperatures and decrease as temperature rises.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The cohesive forces within the mercury are stronger than the adhesive forces between the mer-cury and the glass. If the cohesive forces within the mercury were weaker than the adhesive forces, the meniscus would be concave. See Box 1-5.
