any substance that reduces friction
solution
This is a homogeneous solution.
The most common liquid compound is water.
Most liquid laundry detergents are alive
Yes. There are other lubricants that are used in motors that are not liquids too.
A dry lubricant is a material that is able to reduce friction between two surfaces without the need for a liquid-based lubricant. Examples include graphite and molybdenum disulfide, the two most common dry lubricants, but hexagonal boron nitride and tungsten disulfide can also be used.
- To distribute lubricants or liquid to the packing during operations.
any substance that reduces friction
It's liquid, ofcourse it's going to smooth out friction, reducing heat
gas liquid

Lubricants make the machines movement easier. they reduce the friction made by two moving parts so that they do not wear out quickly
No. For instance, water, although it might allow things to slip and slide is not a lubricant. Lubricants are most commonly oil based products. Liquid Acid, for example, would not perform as a lubricant, not would runny glue.
Only apply thread sealant to the MALE threads of the pipe.

assuming that 'washing up liquid' means soap, or a soap-water mix, the answer would be yes. soaps are long organic molecules with both a polar and a non polar end, and they can act similar to lubricants (such as motor oil, which is just a mixture of very long organic molecules that are entirely non-polar)
