Question

Honey Is not a fluid since it is so thick that it has a hard time flowing

Answer 1

That doesn't mean it isn't a fluid, only that it has a very high viscosity.

Answer 2

It still flows and takes the shape of its container and it freezes to a solid it only has an extremely high viscosity, a fluids resistence to flow, intertia for water pretty much. IT is just like syrup.

Answer 3

Glass is a liquid (certain kinds). Flows real slow, you may find panes that exhibit thicker bottoms than the thickness at the top. This is what my dad told me years ago which I was just a kid. I found it hard to believe and still have some doubt.

Answer 4

Glass is a solid at room temperature so it is a liquid. Anything can be melted and be put to a liquid. But things are exhibited liquids by their state at room temperature!

Answer 5

Honey is a fluid and glass is a solid, they have different forms, buts its like saying water is always a solid and you can see liquid in it though YOURE WRONG!

Answer 6

high viscosity.. lower flow rates

Answer 7

An interesting subject - the states of matter.. What I find interesting "carbon dioxide" in solid form it is commonly known as "dry ice", the gas known as carbon dioxide" or CO2. Does it exists as a liquid???

Answer 8

yes you are right.. co2 exist as dry ice in its solid form.. however co2 can be made liquid as well.. but this would require a very high pressure...this is the reason why liquid co2 is not common.. now solid co2 is formed at a much lower pressure than that of liquid co2.. here temperature is the factor that determines if co2 should exist as solid or liquid.. a lower temperature results in dry ice.. a higher in gaseous co2.

Answer 9

@rohitmathew Thanks for the info, I would assume for CO2 to remain a liquid after being created with pressure, would be to keep it pressurized. Was wondering if there is any use of it in a liquid form?

Answer 10

This is a topic you can simply look up, I do not know the uses of liquid Co2.

Answer 11

The most common commercial uses of liquid carbon dioxide are:

Refrigeration and freezing in food processing and production
Shield gas in welding applications to prevent weld oxidation
pH balance in water treatment plants
Fire suppression systems
Plant growth stimulation in greenhouses
Enhanced oil recovery of oil and gas wells

This is information from the web by the way :)

Answer 12

Thank you, I was just curious in a casual way.
