Viscosity tends to decrease as a liquid is heated. The particles making up the liquid move faster so they slide around each other more quickly, becoming more fluid.

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

The viscosity of the liquid will increase.


What is the viscosity of caesium?

This question is a non-sequitur. Viscosity is a property of liquids. Caesium is a solid at standard temperature and pressure. If you heated caesium until it was a liquid, the viscosity would decrease as you increased the temperature.


How does heat affect the viscosity of a liquid?

according to the particle model, as the temp of a material increase, the attractive forces between the particles of the material decrease. As the temp decreases , the attractive forces increase. Warmer liquids flow more quickly and cooler liquuids flow more slowly. Therefore, the viscosity of a liquid DECREASES as it is HEATED, and INCREASES as it is COOLED.


How does viscosity of liquid vary with rise in temperature?

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


What affects viscosity of a liquid?

viscosity decreases with increase in temperature


What is the effect on increase of temperature on viscosity of liquid?

In most cases an increase in temperature will lower the viscosity of a material, but there are exceptions, like sulfur, which form polymers.


Why the viscosity of liquid decrease whaile that of agas increase with an increase in temperature?

I am no scientist or anything, but I think its from air bubbles getting trapped inside the ice that which makes it expand (I'm just guessing).


What are the three factors that affect viscosity and density?

Temperature, concentration, sometimes also internal fluid velocity. Moreover density, type of liquid, surface where it flows, viscous drag.


Viscosity increase as temperature increase?

Usually the increase in temperature decreases the viscosity of a liquid due to weakness of intermolecular attractions but some mixtures show an increase in viscosity with the rise of temperature as egg (proteins).


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.


As the temperature of a fluid increases does its viscosity increase or decrease?

Assuming all other conditions stay the same as the viscosity increase this restricts flow and the flow rate will slow down. For example if you put water in a squeezable ketchup bottle it would be able to be emptied much faster than if you applied the same pressure with ketchup in the bottle.
