How can you test the viscosity of a liquid?

Answer 1

you can put a number of fluid of equal volume in a closed see-thru bottle. u can then turn the bottle up side down and once comletetly upside down u can time the time it take for the bubbles to reach the top. the more viscous fluid will take longer for the bubble to reach top

Answer 2

1- Timer

2- Red tape (measures 50cm to time)

3- Label with Alcohol name written on it

4- Air Bubble

5- Clamp

In the third and final method you have to set up a clamp with a rod with BOTH ENDS sealed which is filled with one of the selected Alcohols. The tube should have a small air bubble of air inside. When you turn the rod 180° the air bubble will move up the rod, when it crosses the first red mark start the timer, then when it passes the second stop the timer. This method is the best as it is more reliable, it is easier to time and you are less likely to make a mistake, I have chosen this method for my experiment.

Answer 3

you can put the liquid into an hourglass and use it like an egg timer (tip it upside down) and see how long it takes for the liquid to go to the bottom.

Heat the liquid up then tip it upside down again and see how long it takes to empty into the bottom again. record the times and you should find that the higher the viscosity the longer it will take to empty from top to bottom.

Answer 4

Four pipets are filled with different liquids. When the liquids are released, they are observed to flow at different rates.

Answer 5

this is a liquid that can be transported to a different place in the world with it's particels and as it ay can flow right thought a river!

Answer 6

Yes, you can, run four different liquids down a ramp the fastest one down is the least viscous, the last one that reaches the bottom is the most viscous :)

Answer 7

filter through a strainer
