Which instrument is used to measure the viscosity.?

Correct answer: D. Viscometer

  • A. Hygrometer
  • B. Hydrometer
  • C. Anemometer
  • D. Viscometer

Explanation

A viscometer measures a liquid's viscosity by measuring its resistance to flow under specified conditions. A hygrometer measures humidity, a hydrometer measures relative density, and an anemometer measures wind speed. Students may choose a hydrometer because both instruments are used with liquids, but a hydrometer does not measure flow resistance.

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.
