How fast does liquid travel up a straw?

The speed at which liquid travels up a straw depends on factors such as the diameter of the straw, the viscosity of the liquid, and the force applied to push the liquid up. In general, liquids can travel up a straw at a rate of about 1-2 meters per second.


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 tend to increase or decrease as a liquid is heated?

Viscosity tends to decrease as a liquid is heated. This is because heating typically leads to a decrease in the forces of attraction between molecules, allowing them to move more freely and flow more easily.


What happens when you heat an object up?

When you heat an object up, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently. This leads to an increase in the object's temperature and often causes it to expand. If the object reaches its melting point, the solid will turn into a liquid, and if it reaches its boiling point, the liquid will turn into a gas.


What happens to steam as it gives up energy inside the radiator?

As steam gives up energy inside the radiator, it undergoes condensation and transforms back into liquid water. This process releases heat energy that warms up the radiator.

What happens when liquid heats up?

It depends on how much heat and what liquid it is. If it loses just a few degrees on heat it just becomes colder. If it loses alot of heat then it becomes a solid


Why does a make up manufacturer need to know about viscosity?

Viscosity of a liquid is important for industries, especially the cosmetics industry which depends on the flow properties of matter.


How does viscosity change with heat?

For the wast majority of liquids, if they are heated, the viscosity reduces.


Which does not affect the viscosity of a liquid?

According to recent studies, scientists have now discovered a new form of semen that goes against all religious beliefs up till now. Some semen or seamen are Christian so nuns can have sex. So, nothing affects the viscosity of liquid except your mom.


How do you get liquid to gas?

How does corn flour change the viscosity of things?

When you heat it, its molecular chains start to unravel and when this is added to a substance. The chains are able to hit into starch chains in the substance and they mesh together, forming a thicker liquid.
