What is more viscous kerosene or heavy fuel oil?
Heavy fuel oil is typically more viscous than kerosene. Heavy fuel oil is thicker and more dense, making it harder to flow compared to kerosene.
Does oil pour faster than water?
Yes, oil typically pours faster than water because it is less viscous, meaning it flows more easily. Water, being a polar molecule, tends to stick together in a cohesive manner, while oil's nonpolar molecules slide past each other more readily.
If a substance is viscous is it denser than a less viscous liquid?

Oil is less dense than water?
Because its particles aren't as close together weighing it down. Water particles (H2O) are closer together (making the substance more dense) because they "want" to hydrogen bond with each other, which is energetically favorable. Oil (or any hydrocarbon) mainly "want" to just not be pushed up to another molecule so are farther apart at normal temperatures. Under very cold conditions this is less so (water is peculiar in that when it freezes it actually becomes less dense, that's why ice floats).
Why a thin film of oil spread over water while water do not spread over oil?
This will occur because most oils (especially cooking oils) are less dense than water. So when poured into water they will stay separate and on top. When water is poured into oil it will sink to the bottom instead of float on top.
Is water more viscous than vegetable oil and methylated spirits?
Water is more viscous than methylated spirits, and vegetable oils are more viscous than water.
Can a viscous fluid be less dense then fresh water?
Yes, for example oil is less dense than water even though it is more viscous.
Which one is thicker water or oil?
Oil is thicker than water because oil has larger molecules that are more tightly packed together compared to water. This makes oil more viscous and resistant to flow compared to water.
What is the difference in viscosity between oil and water?
The difference in viscosity between oil and water is that oil is more viscous than water. Viscosity refers to a liquid's resistance to flow, and oil has a higher viscosity than water, meaning it flows more slowly.
Is honey a viscous liquid?
no honey is not dense than oil because oil has grease in it which makes it thinner but honey is too thick to be more dense than oil Another Answer: Honey is more dense than water. Water will float on honey. Try it. Is oil is more dense than water. Take some cooking oil and pour it on water. Which floats on the other? If the oil floats on the water then honey is more dense than honey. If the water floats on the oil then you will need to see if the oil floats on the honey or if the honey floats on the oil.
Petroleum in Albertas oil snads is more viscous than mollasses and certainly too viscous to pump How did they solve the problem?
Added heat. Warm petroleum is far less viscous than cold. Pumps like water.
What does viscosity mean for a liquid?
It is the ability of the liquid to flow. The higher the viscosity, the less the ability to flow. For example, oil is more viscous than water; honey is more viscous than oil.
Is oil more vicious than water?
Vicious tends to mean harmful, as with a vicious dog which might attack you. The word you mean is viscous, which is a measure of the "thickness" of a liquid and of its ability to flow. If you pour the same volumes of oil into suitable but equally shaped funnels, the water will be the first to drain through. The oil is slower. It is more viscous.
What is more viscous kerosene or heavy fuel oil?
Heavy fuel oil is typically more viscous than kerosene. Heavy fuel oil is thicker and more dense, making it harder to flow compared to kerosene.
Why is coconut oil less dense than water though it is thicker than water?
Just because something is thicker than something does not mean it is more dense. Coconut oil may be more viscous than water, but it is less dense. Perhaps because of the strong hydrogen bonding in water, more mass is able to be packed per unit volume than in coconut oil.
Does oil pour faster than water?
Yes, oil typically pours faster than water because it is less viscous, meaning it flows more easily. Water, being a polar molecule, tends to stick together in a cohesive manner, while oil's nonpolar molecules slide past each other more readily.
