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

Relationship between flow time and viscosity?
The higher the viscosity, the lower the flow rate.
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.
The uneven force acting on the surface of a liquid are called viscosity true or false?
Viscosity is the internal resistance of fluid to flow. Water has a thin viscosity (low resistance = flows easily) while oil has a thick viscosity (high viscosity = does not flow as easily). The term viscosity is usually used about the internal forces of the liquid itself.While not clear from the question, the force acting on the surface of a liquid is probably surface tension being thought of, but could also be gravity, depending on the context.I would say the answer to your question is: false.
What is the ability to allow liquid to flow through?
In general, fluidity is the term used to refer to the ability of a fluid to flow. It's the reciprocal of viscosity, which is the resistance of a fluid to deform when subjected to either shear or extensional forces. It (viscosity) is often thought of as the "thickness" of a fluid.Consider that a gas is a fluid just as a liquid is, and a gas is "more fluid" than a liquid. It (the gas) has a greater ability to "flow" than a liquid. Gas atoms or molecules "stick together" less than the atoms or molecules of a liquid. We don't use the term fluidity much in engineering, but stick to viscosity, which is linked below.Solid:A solid's ability to flow is called plasticity. Examples of this process would be the earth's mantle, which is solid material that flows underneath the Earth's crust.
How well a substance flows at a given temperature?
The ability of a substance to flow at a given temperature is it's viscosity. Water is not very viscus at room temperature and flows easily for example.
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.
What are factors that affect viscosity and flow?
Pressure and temperature are the two factors that affect flow and viscosity. Viscosity refers to the resistance of a liquid to the shear forces.
Relationship between flow time and viscosity?
The higher the viscosity, the lower the flow rate.
What is thickness of a liquid?
viscosity
What are characteristics of viscosity?
Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Fluids with high viscosity flow slowly, while fluids with low viscosity flow quickly. Viscosity is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and molecular structure of the fluid.
How do liquid with a high viscosity differ from liquid with a low viscosity?
The liquids with high viscosity flow slowly and liquids with low viscosity flow quickly.
How do liquid with a high viscosity differ from liquid with low viscosity?
The liquids with high viscosity flow slowly and liquids with 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
The resistance of a liquid to flowing?
Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. It is a measure of the internal friction within a fluid as it moves. Liquids with high viscosity flow more slowly than those with low viscosity.
The property of flowing very slow in a liquid?
The property you are referring to is known as viscosity. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, with high viscosity liquids flowing more slowly compared to low viscosity liquids. It is affected by factors such as temperature and composition of the liquid.
Does viscosity increase as temperature increases?
No, viscosity generally decreases as temperature increases for most liquids. This is because as temperature rises, the molecules in the liquid move more quickly and create less resistance to flow. There are exceptions, such as non-Newtonian fluids, where viscosity can increase with temperature.
What is the word for how easly a liquid will flow?
Viscosity ... the lower the viscosity of a liquid, the easier it will flow.Agooey liquid is said to be Viscose.
