The reciprocal of the coefficent of viscosity is called__________?

Correct answer: C. Fluidity

  • A. Density
  • B. Specific gravity
  • C. Fluidity
  • D. Absorbance

Explanation

Fluidity measures how easily a liquid flows and is defined as the reciprocal of viscosity: fluidity = 1/viscosity. Students may choose density because it is another property of fluids, but density does not describe resistance to flow.

About Properties of Liquids

Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
