Is it true a liquid with high viscosity flows more slowly than a liquid with a low viscosity?

Yes, this is true when on a surface exerting a force other than gravity. It is due to friction, as measure by the force per unit area resisting a flow. If relying on gravity alone, objects will fall at the same rate.


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.


Which are light liquids?

By using API gravity value of a liquid we can check that how a liquid is lighter or haavior one.First we should know about API gravity.The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a liquid is compared to water. If its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks. API gravity is thus an inverse measure of the relative density of a petroleum liquid and the density of water, but it is used to compare the relative densities of petroleum liquids. For example, if one petroleum liquid floats on another and is therefore less dense, it has a greater API gravity. Although mathematically, API gravity has no units (see the formula below), it is nevertheless referred to as being in "degrees". API gravity is graduated in degrees on a hydrometer instrument. The API scale was designed so that most values would fall between 10 and 70 API gravity degrees.M.Hassan Haq NawazB.sc. Chemical Engg,University Of Gujrat,Pakistan


What is the force called between liquid particles?

viscosity. Viscosity is the inherent force of a liquid which opposes the relative movement between layers of the said liquid.


How does viscosity of liquid vary with rise in temperature?

As the temperature increases, the viscosity of the liquid will decrease.

What is the term for the thickness of a liquid?

Viscosity is the measure of the resistance of a liquid. This is often thought of as the thickness of a liquid.


How do you find a volume of a liquid?

pour it into a known liquid volumetric container. One liter will always be one litter no matter the viscosity or special gravity of the liquid


When compared to high viscosity liquid a liquid with a low viscosity does what?

Low viscosity liquid is more runny, like water, then compared to a high viscosity liquid.


Which liquid has zero viscosity?

Ideal liquid has zero viscosity.


What kind of oil is used for home heating oil?

Home heating oil is a liquid petroleum product with a low viscosity that is used in furnaces to supply heat to the home. In the United States, home heating oil is known as "No. 2 heating oil".

If you increase density of liquid the effect on viscosity is?

The viscosity of the liquid will increase.


What describes how a liquid pours?

One can describe how a liquid pours by its viscosity. Viscosity is a liquid's ability to resist flow. Therefore, the higher the viscosity, the "thicker" the liquid is and causes it to pour out slowly. If a liquid is said to have a low viscosity, the liquid is "thinner" and can easily be poured out.
