Question

Which of the following is likely to have the lowest viscosity? hot oil room temperature oil room temperature water below room temperature oil
Hot oil
Room temperature oil
Room temperature water
Below room temperature oil

Answer 1

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Viscosity is defined as the inability of a liquid to flow easily. Basically, a liquid which is very thick will have the highest viscosity.

Molecules of some liquids are more closely packed due to which they face resistance in movement from one place to another.

On the other hand, when we heat a liquid then molecules gain kinetic energy. As a result, they tend to move away from each other. This movement of molecules make the flow of liquid easy and it will have the lowest viscosity.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the following hot oil is likely to have the lowest viscosity.

Answer 2

The answer should be hot oil
