When the liquid is at high temperature, the molecules of liquid have more energy & spread further apart. This enables the molecules to move around much more in the liquid which makes it less viscous or fluid.

What liquid is less viscous yet heavier than water?

Mercury is a liquid that is less viscous but heavier than water. Mercury is a dense liquid metal at room temperature, making it heavier than water, which is less viscous than water due to its lower viscosity.


What liquid is less viscous than water?

Liquid nitrogen is less viscous than water.


Define volatile and viscous?

Viscous means how thick a LIQUID is and how tightly the particles are packed together if the liquid is thick(less runny) it is more viscous if the liquid is thin(more runny) it is less viscous


What does lube oil viscosity refer to?

The viscosity of a liquid is a measure of of "thick" the liquid is. E.g. Honey is very viscous, while water is not. In terms of motor oil, more viscous oil will thin out less at very high temperatures. Viscosity is represented by the number pair associated with the oil, such as 10/40, where 10 is the low temperature viscosity and 40 is the high temperature viscosity. (scale of 0-60, with 60 being the most viscous)

What will happen to most liquids when the temperature is increased?

If the temperature is increased high enough to increase the value pressure of the liquid to that of the atmospheric pressure, the liquid will boil and vaporize to become a gas.


What is the speed of a liquid?

I think you may be talking about viscosity. The viscosity of a liquid is its resistance to flow, or its thickness. A less viscous liquid will flow more quickly than a more viscous fluid. As an example, water has very low viscosity and molasses has a high viscosity.


What is meant by a viscous liquid?

Viscosity is a measure of the thickness or how runny a liquid is. More viscous means thicker and syrup-like. Less viscous means more runny and more like water.


Is oil a liquid or solid?

Oil is a viscous liquid. Higher the number on the can, less the viscosity of the oil in it.


Why liquids become less viscous with temperature?

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the liquid molecules also increases, causing them to move more freely and with less resistance. This increased molecular motion leads to a decrease in viscosity since the liquid molecules are less likely to stick together and impede the flow.


How do you measure the viscosity of a liquid?

you can measure it by dropping a lead ball into the liquid while timing it with a stop watch if it is runny then it is more viscous and when it is thick and not runny it is less viscous.


What are the three factors that affect viscosity and density?

Temperature, concentration, sometimes also internal fluid velocity. Moreover density, type of liquid, surface where it flows, viscous drag.
