Viscosity in gases is due to the exchange of momentum by gases with each other. It is also due to diffusion

Answers for True or False Viscosity is the tendency of a fluid to resist flow Both gases and liquids can display viscosity?

True. Viscosity is indeed the tendency of a fluid to resist flow. Both gases and liquids can exhibit viscosity, with liquids typically displaying more noticeable viscosity compared to gases due to the closer proximity of their particles.


Explain what viscosity is and how it would change as matter changes states I cant find the answer?

Viscosity is a property of liquids and gases. In every day terms syrup is viscous and water isn't. Liquids with high viscosity are difficult to stir, there is resistance to movement through the liquid. A change of state from liquid to gas would cause the viscosity to reduce. Technically viscosity is a resistance to shear or tensile stresses. Viscosity can be measured for all liquids and gases. Wikipedia gives a technical description.


What is the effect of temperature on the viscosity of gases?

For liquids; Viscosity tends to fall as temperature increases. For gas; Viscosity increases as temperature increases.


Viscosity is a property in which state of matter?

yes viscosity is a property of gas


Do liquid and gases have high dynamic viscosity?

No, liquids and gases typically have lower dynamic viscosity compared to solids. Dynamic viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation under shear stress, and both liquids and gases have lower resistance compared to solids due to their molecular structure and higher mobility of particles.


What is the viscosity of platinum?

It doesn't have a viscosity at room temperature, it is solid


Is viscosity a property of a gas?

yes viscosity is a property of gas


Is carbon dioxide viscous?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas at standard temperature and pressure, and it is not considered viscous in the same way that liquids are. Gases generally have low viscosity compared to liquids, and CO2 has a relatively low viscosity among gases. However, when CO2 is compressed into a liquid state, its viscosity increases, but it remains much lower than that of most liquids.


What information can be found in the viscosity table?

The viscosity table provides information about the viscosity of different substances, which is a measure of their resistance to flow. It typically includes data on the viscosity of liquids and gases at various temperatures and pressures.


Does oxygen have high or low visocity?

Oxygen has low viscosity because it is a gas at room temperature. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, and gases generally have low viscosity compared to liquids.


How do liquids with a high viscosity differ from a liquids with a low viscosity?

Because liquids with a high viscosity flow slowly as to where a liquid with a low viscosity flow quickly


When particles move past each other with ease it is called what?

It is called fluidity or viscosity, depending on whether the particles are liquids or gases. Fluidity describes the ease at which particles in a liquid flow past each other, while viscosity is the resistance to flow exhibited by liquids or gases.
