What happens to the viscosity of a liquid when its temperature is increased?
Options
- AThe viscosity of the liquid increases due to stronger intermolecular forces.
- BThe viscosity of the liquid remains unchanged.
- CThe viscosity of the liquid decreases because the kinetic energy of the molecules can overcome intermolecular
- DThe viscosity of the liquid decreases due to increased molecular attraction.
Correct answer
C. The viscosity of the liquid decreases because the kinetic energy of the molecules can overcome intermolecular
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (C) The viscosity of the liquid decreases because the kinetic energy of the molecules can overcome intermolecular forces.
