What is the liquid property that allows oil to flow upward in the wick of a lantern?
Liquids are able to travel up narrow tubes or threads because of capillary action. This property causes part of the surface of a liquid to elevate above the rest of the surface when in contact with a solid.
Is length a intensive or extensive property?
Density is an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount of the substance.
What is the viscosity of Gasoline in cSt?
Gasoline has a low viscosity because it has a low resistance to flow.*You can't give viscosity a number. Therefore, the question can't be answered directly.*
Why do viscosity affect candy maker?
because viscosity is the thickness of a liquid and in order to make good candy the viscosity has to a certain thickness before you let it cool. If the viscosity is thick than the candy will be like taffy if it is runnier when you take it out than the candy will be hard.
Does an increase in silica increase the viscosity of magma?
Yes. Viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flowing. A high viscosity means low flowing (I specifically mention this because this is a huge pitfall) When silica content increases, and when temperature decreases, the viscosity of a magma increases along with it.
Oil flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called?
capillarity
Oil flows upward in wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called?
capillarity
Why is viscosity classified as physical property?
Because viscosity refers to the degree of fluidity of a liquid, and that's something visible.It is a physical property.

Is velocity intensive or extensive property?
like temperature, density, boiling and melting point velocity is an Intensive property.
Is sodium chloride a soap thickener?
Yes..because of its property that increases the viscosity. It's being used in cleansers.

How do liquids with a high viscosity differ from a liquids with a low viscosity?
Because liquids with a high viscosity flow slowly as to where a liquid with a low viscosity flow quickly
How do liquids with a high viscosity differ from a liquid with a low viscosity?
Because liquids with a high viscosity flow slowly as to where a liquid with a low viscosity flow quickly
Why does warm honey pour from a jar more easily than cold honey?
Because of a scientific property called viscosity. Warm honey is not as thick as cold honey.
Why viscosity important in fluid property?
Viscosity provides a resistance to a fluid being squirted out, say, between a crankshaft and a bearing journal under pressure. So measuring viscosity will be important for predicting how much protection a given fluid will provide.
