With an increase in temperature, the viscosity of liquids will: . (a) decrease (b) increase . (c) no change
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

(a) decrease

Explanation:

Viscosity is the resistance which occur to flow of the fluid.

More the inter molecular forces between particles of the liquid, more the viscosity of liquid.

<u>Effect of temperature on viscosity:-</u>

Viscosity decreases with the increase in the temperature as forces among the particles decrease on increasing temperature. The kinetic energy of the particles of the liquid increases causing to move in more random motions and thus weaker inter molecular forces and this offer less resistance to the flow.

<u>Hence, viscosity of the liquids decrease with the increasing temperature.</u>

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Hi!


The correct option would be A) Mendel’s genetics states laws that are now part of the theory of biological evolution.


When Darwin proposed the idea of biological evolution, which revolved around the concept that favorable genes are naturally selected into a species to ensure survival, his theory was criticized as during that time there was the idea that individual traits of two parents would present themselves as a blend in the offspring.

Gregor Mendel's theory of inheritance supported Darwin's idea as it dealt with the transmission of traits in generations through entities called genes, which were present in pairs for a particular trait.


Hope this helps!
