With the increase in temperature, the viscosity of a liquid:
Correct answer: B. Decreases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Remain same
- D. None
Explanation
This is the correct answer. An increase in temperature causes the molecules in a liquid to gain more kinetic energy and move more rapidly. This increased molecular motion disrupts the attractive forces between molecules, reducing the resistance to flow, and thereby decreasing viscosity.
