Cold temperatures slows the molecules in the liquid evenyually freezing it.
Hot temperatures makes the molecules move faster making it boil.
Think about grease ad wax, when they are cold they are solid, when heated they become liquid.

What is the effect on increase of temperature on viscosity of liquid?
In most cases an increase in temperature will lower the viscosity of a material, but there are exceptions, like sulfur, which form polymers.
How viscosity of liquid depends on temperature?
Viscosity is a liquids resistance to flow. Viscosity decreases as the liquid is heated. Molecular shape of the components making up the liquid can affect viscosity. Small round molecules make little contact and can move more freely making a compound less viscous. The viscosity of a fluid is basically a measure of how sticky it is. Water has a fairly low viscosity; things like shampoo or syrup have higher viscosity. Viscosity also depends on temperature - engine oil, for instance, is much less viscous at high temperatures than it is in a cold engine in the middle of winter.
Does viscosity increase as temperature increases?
Usually the increase in temperature decreases the viscosity of a liquid due to weakness of intermolecular attractions but some mixtures show an increase in viscosity with the rise of temperature as egg (proteins).
What is the relation between viscosity and density of a liquid?
Both are indirectly related through temperature. When temperature increases both viscosity and density increases.
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 are factors that affect viscosity and flow?
Pressure and temperature are the two factors that affect flow and viscosity. Viscosity refers to the resistance of a liquid to the shear forces.
How does viscosity of liquid vary with rise in temperature?
As the temperature increases, the viscosity of the liquid will decrease.
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.
How does temperature affect the viscosity of ketchup?
The viscosity decrease increasing the temperature.
What affects viscosity of a liquid?
viscosity decreases with increase in temperature
Does temperature does temperature affect viscosity of magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
How do you increase viscosity?
Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. When temperature decreases Viscosity generally increases. Viscosity generally decreases when the temperature increases.
How does temperature affect viscosity magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
Does temperature affect viscosity of magma?
High temperature=low viscosityLow temperature=high viscosity
How the coefficient of viscosity of a liquid changes with temperature?
The coefficient of viscosity of liquids decreases with an increases in temperature.
How does heating a liquid affect the viscosity and why?
it affects the viscosity because the liquid changes the shape and turns it to a gas and the viscosity by change the form
What are the factors that affect viscosity?
Temperature, concentration, sometimes also internal fluid velocity. Moreover density, type of liquid, surface where it flows, viscous drag.
