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 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.


Why a liquid is less viscous at high temperature?

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 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.

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.


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 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.


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.


What does it mean when an object has less density then the liquid it is in?

it means the liquid is heavier. It floats in the liquid.


What is hevier ice or water?

If you freeze a sample of liquid water it should expand but still weigh the same amount. Water is denser than ice so by volume liquid water is heavier than water ice, thus ice floats.
