The least viscous substance is the superfluid helium. This substance has zero viscosity and it becomes liquid below 4 degrees Kelvin.

Lowering the temperature the viscosity is higher.

How is viscosity related to flow rate?

Viscosity is a substances resistance to flow. So as the viscosity of a substance increases, the flow rate will decrease.


Does water have the lowest viscosity than honey toothpaste and oil?

Of course, viscosity is the measure of a liquid's ability to flow. Water being able to flow through a confined space easier than both of those means it has the lowest viscosity.


What is viscoslty?

Viscosity is the resistance to flow of a substance. The higher the viscosity, the more resistant it is to flow. That is to say, glue has a higher viscosity than water.


Is it true or false the chemical property viscosity describes a substance like honey's resistance to flowing?

True. Viscosity refers to the "state of being thick/sticky" (taken from dictionary). So it could be described as a substance like honey's resistance to flowing. Honey is high in viscosity, water is low. So the 'stickier' the substance, the higher in viscosity.

Lowest viscosity of water at room temperature?

The lowest viscosity of water at room temperature is around 0.89 millipascal-second (mPaยทs) or 0.89 centipoise (cP). However, the viscosity of water can vary slightly depending on impurities and dissolved substances.


What happens to viscosity as temperature increases?

As the temperature rises, the viscosity, meaning a substance's resistance to flow decreases because a liquid based substance melts, and flows more.Viscosity decreases as temperature increases.


What is viscosity means in terms of the particle theory?

Viscosity is a measure of how easily particles flow over, around and about each other. The greater their tendency to flow, the higher the viscosity of the substance.
