Question

Does temperature have the same effect on gases as it does on liquids when it comes to viscosity? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: Explanation:

With an increase in temperature, there is typically an increase in the molecular interchange as molecules move faster in higher temperatures. The gas viscosity will increase with temperature. ... With high temperatures, viscosity increases in gases and decreases in liquids, the drag force will do the same.

The increase in temperature causes the kinetic or thermal energy to increase and the molecules become more mobile. The attractive binding energy is reduced and therefore the viscosity is reduced.

liquids show a reduction in viscosity with increasing temperature. With high temperatures, viscosity increases in gases and decreases in liquids, the drag force will do the same.
