What is the effect on increase of temperature on viscosity of liquid?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
In most cases an increase in temperature will lower the viscosity of a material, but there are exceptions, like sulfur, which form polymers.

∙ 12y agoThe change in temperature affects viscosity because when the fluid is heated the particles move faster, making the fluid have a lower viscosity. and vise verse (when you cool it)

∙ 12y agothe liquid become less viscous. think about how hot fudge gets thicker when its colder, but wateryer when its really hot.

If you increase density of liquid the effect on viscosity is?
The viscosity of the liquid will increase.
Does viscosity increase as temperature increases?
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).
What happens to viscosity of a liquid when you heat it up?
VISCOSITY generally decreases with increase in temperature.(a factor responsible for cleaning action of soap) .There might be exceptions.
Why does the coefficient of viscosity of liquids increase with an increase in temperature?
Temperature measures the speed of random thermal motion on the atomic and molecular level. When sub-microscopic particles are moving faster, the liquid as a whole will be more fluid and less viscous.
What is the relation between viscosity and density of a liquid?
Both are indirectly related through temperature. When temperature increases both viscosity and density increases.
If you increase density of liquid the effect on viscosity is?
The viscosity of the liquid will increase.
What affects viscosity of a liquid?
viscosity decreases with increase in temperature
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.
Does viscosity increase as temperature increases?
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).
What does viscous liquid depend on?
Liquid's viscocity depends on temperature. As a rule, viscosity drops with the increase of temperature.
How does viscosity of liquid vary with rise in temperature?
As the temperature increases, the viscosity of the liquid will decrease.
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.
What happens to viscosity of a liquid when you heat it up?
VISCOSITY generally decreases with increase in temperature.(a factor responsible for cleaning action of soap) .There might be exceptions.
Why viscosity decreases with increase in temperature?
Temperature measures the speed of random thermal motion on the atomic and molecular level. When sub-microscopic particles are moving faster, the liquid as a whole will be more fluid and less viscous.
What is the effect of the temperature on the flow rate and the viscosity of a liquid?
HSP With increase in temp.the viscosity of liquids decreases,thereby increasing the flow rate and vice versa.The decrease in viscosity with rising temp.is due to the fact that the intermolecular attraction decreases and the cohesive forces increases. This does not apply with water
How the coefficient of viscosity of a liquid changes with temperature?
The coefficient of viscosity of liquids decreases with an increases in temperature.
