"Does temperature affect the viscosity of a liquid?" yes it does. my old textbook says: a rise in temperature increases the movement of particles in any substance. see, the particles in the fluid move faster, which makes energy transfer faster, which ends up making a lower viscosity (or a lower resistance to flow). so yeah...

Yes. An increase of temperature decreases the liquid's viscosity.

In many cases, yes. To prove this, keep some pancake syrup in the fridge overnight - the next morning, try to pour it on some pancakes. Then stick in the the microwave for a few seconds, or let it sit in very warm water for a few minutes. Note the difference after the syrup is warmed.

Freezing temperature of a pure liquid is constant .But it changes when it become impure.(or when we add a solute to it.)

for example;

when we add a non volatile solute to a solvent of pure water .so by doing this its freezing temperature,boiling point etc will increase.

Yes it does, the thicker the density the longer the time. Say you took syrup and froze it, it's so thick it would take a longer time to freeze then water.

yes it does. so if you want to freeze something quickly, use a thinner liquid. :)

It depends. If they are the same temperature, then the thin liquid would freeze faster. If the thick liquid is hotter, then it will freeze faster.

Does the type of liquid affect the time it take to freeze?

yes different liquids have different freezing temperatures


How is viscosity tested?

viscosity is tested through by heating the liquid to constain temperature and there by making a flow and the time taken from one level to another level. the time to compare with time taken by liquid to flow from one level to another level with out heating and calculating the viscosity index at two points.


What are the relationship between viscosity and time of flow?

When a liquid is heated, it will generally become less viscous.


Does adding vinegar to water affect its freezing time?

Yes because it is no longer water so will have a different freezing time or point


Relationship between flow time and viscosity?

The higher the viscosity, the lower the flow rate.


How does viscosity affect a baker?

The knowledge of viscosity is applied to a baker because without viscosity the bread would be flat. there wouldn't be any yeast


What would happen to the freezing point of the substance that you worked with if there was twice as much liquid in the test tube?

Nothing. The freezing point depends on the molecular structure, not the volume of the substance. It will take a longer time to freeze twice the amount of liquid, but the freezing point remains the same.


Why the Ostwald's viscometer is kept vertically during experiment?

if we put viscometer horizontally, movement of liquid in the tube is not properly and time required by liquid which helps in calculation of viscosity of fluid


Is copper viscous?

At Standard Temperature and Pressure, Copper is a solid metal.


Why do some liquids have greater viscosity than others?

Viscosity is determined by the internal friction between the molecules of a liquid. Factors such as molecular size and shape, intermolecular forces, and temperature influence viscosity. Liquids with larger and more complex molecules, stronger intermolecular forces, and lower temperatures tend to have greater viscosity because the molecules have a harder time sliding past one another.


What Factors that affect the viscosity of fluid?

There are some factors like temperature and time taken (special case), etc. Good luck!


What is a freezing point?

Well, If you are talking about the state of freezing point that would mean the exact temperature that a liquid freezes. Although I am not sure of the exact temperature :-) The exact time that a substance turns into a solid.
