Viscosity refers to the resistance that a fluid has resulting from an intentional or non intentional stress. The importance of knowing the viscosity of a substance helps in determining how it should be handled, stored and eliminated.

∙ 11y agoViscosity is the magnitude of internal friction within a substance. Can be called thickness or stickiness of a substance that determines how fluid the substance is. The viscosity of a substance determines how it should be handled, stored, and discarded. You would not want something very thick (i.e. - corn syrup) in a narrow ended bottle as it would take a long period of time for the substance to come out of the container.

∙ 11y agoThe viscosity makes a substance useful by the viscosity being thick or thin so then if it was thick, it would be useful if you need something strong or something to stick but if it is thin, it would be runny (bit like diherra
- in other words runny poo) then it would be easier to filter and just be a runny substance...

Viscosity is resistance to flow of oil Viscosity Index is a scale to measure viscosity
Does soda have a low viscosity?
The viscosity is similar to the viscosity of water.

How does viscosity happen?
Viscosity doesn't happen. Viscosity is a measure of how easily a liquid flows.
What is relative viscosity?
Relative viscosity is defined as ratio of viscosity of solution to that of a pure solvent.
The resistance of a liquid to flowing?
Viscosity is how much a liquid resists flow. Water has a low viscosity while molasses has a high viscosity.
What is the viscosity definitions?
Viscosity is a fluids resistance to flow. A high viscosity fluid would be thick, a low viscosity fluid would be thin.
How do you increase viscosity?
Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. When temperature decreases Viscosity generally increases. Viscosity generally decreases when the temperature increases.
