Question

Which is a plausible reason for why a given liquid has a high viscosity?

A:the compound is a gas at room temperature

B:the compound is kept at a very high temperature


C:the compound has a high amount of hydrogen bonding

Answer 1

The main factor is temperature because as a liquid heats up, it will become less viscous and as it cools it will become more viscous.

Answer 2

so in that case it will be a becouse its at room tempreture right :)

Answer 3

it's not A. viscosity is a measure of "resistance to flow" of a fluid. a liquid like oil that flows slowly must be grabbing onto its neighbor molecules strongly. that implies a particular type of intermolecular force

Answer 4

ummmm ok so then it would be b?

Answer 5

it's not B. a high temp would mean the molecules are moving around each other quickly, so they would be LESS likely to stick together.

Answer 6

so its has to be at a high but like can you explain it to me a little bit more please?

Answer 7

what is hydrogen bonding?

Answer 8

ohhhhhhhh lol its wat you just said becouse it asks ok ok yea i got it lol sorry :) thank you so much :)

Answer 9

YW

Answer 10

:)

Answer 11

:) thank you
