Viscosity of a fluid is mainly influenced by the friction caused by the interactions between its molecules. Therefore a dishwashing liquid or reagent does not affect the viscosity of water, it only affect its surface tension. .

Dishwashing liquid or reagent increases viscosity while decreases the surface tension. Higher surface tension hurdles to enter interfacial surfaces of the dirt particles. The reagent weakens the cohesive forces and is noted as potential energy, it decreases the surface tension. The reagent interacts with the water dipoles and release potential energy to the liquid. This released energy activated the water molecules to align around the reagents so the energy released to the liquid decreases the surface tension. This energy is used in increasing the surface energy which enables the liquid to wash the surfaces. Thus the viscosity and surface tension mutually work together and are defined with friccohesity chemistry and measured with survismeter.

If you increase density of liquid the effect on viscosity is?
The viscosity of the liquid will increase.
What describes how a liquid pours?
One can describe how a liquid pours by its viscosity. Viscosity is a liquid's ability to resist flow. Therefore, the higher the viscosity, the "thicker" the liquid is and causes it to pour out slowly. If a liquid is said to have a low viscosity, the liquid is "thinner" and can easily be poured out.
What is viscosity in glue?
Viscosity in any liquid is thickness.
What does it mean to have highest viscosity?
The term viscosity refers to the thickness of a liquid, or the degree to which a liquid resists flowing. The highest viscosity is the greatest thickness.
How viscosity of liquid depends on temperature?
Viscosity is a liquids resistance to flow. Viscosity decreases as the liquid is heated. Molecular shape of the components making up the liquid can affect viscosity. Small round molecules make little contact and can move more freely making a compound less viscous. The viscosity of a fluid is basically a measure of how sticky it is. Water has a fairly low viscosity; things like shampoo or syrup have higher viscosity. Viscosity also depends on temperature - engine oil, for instance, is much less viscous at high temperatures than it is in a cold engine in the middle of winter.
Does the color of the dishwashing liquid affect the way it cleans?
no it doesn't
How does heating a liquid affect the viscosity and why?
it affects the viscosity because the liquid changes the shape and turns it to a gas and the viscosity by change the form
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.
Does the density of a liquid affect the liquids of viscosity?
denser liquids tend to have more viscosity
How does the attraction between molecules affect the ability of a liquid to flow?
Attractions between molecules may affect the viscosity of a liquid because if the molecules aren't attracted close enough together, the viscosity will be much lower (the liquid will have a watery appearance). If the molecules are closer together, the liquid will have a higher viscosity
What is the term for the thickness of a liquid?
Viscosity is the measure of the resistance of a liquid. This is often thought of as the thickness of a liquid.
What acid is present in dishwashing liquid?
Base
Does the viscosity of dishwashing liquids increase its cleaning ability?
No, not necessarily. It may seem that a higher viscosity will result in the liquid sticking to the dishes more easily and thus enhancing the cleaning ability. This is not the case and the liquid gets diluted in water anyway. Viscosity has very little, if any, to do with cleaning power. It is all to do with the design of the molecule, the HLB and other factors.
When compared to high viscosity liquid a liquid with a low viscosity does what?
Low viscosity liquid is more runny, like water, then compared to a high viscosity liquid.
How does surface tension and viscosity affect the flow of liquids?
Viscosity is the resistance of flow and surface tension is the lateral force of the bonds between the molecules
Which liquid has zero viscosity?
Ideal liquid has zero viscosity.
Does any of the dishwashing powder or liquid has no chemical in it?
No. All dishwashing detergents have chemicals in them.
