The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each of the four statements regarding viscosity, surface tension, and angle of contact, and determine which ones are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate the first statement: "Viscosity of liquid increases with temperature."** - Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. For liquids, as the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, which reduces the intermolecular forces. This leads to a decrease in viscosity. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Evaluate the second statement: "Viscosity of gases increases with temperature."** - For gases, as the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules also increases. This results in more frequent and energetic collisions between the gas molecules, which increases the viscosity. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 3. **Evaluate the third statement: "Surface tension of liquid decreases with temperature."** - Surface tension is caused by cohesive forces between liquid molecules. As temperature increases, these cohesive forces decrease due to increased molecular motion, leading to a decrease in surface tension. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 4. **Evaluate the fourth statement: "For angle of contact θ = 0°, liquid neither rises nor falls in a capillary."** - The angle of contact (or wetting angle) determines the behavior of a liquid in a capillary. If θ = 0°, the liquid completely wets the surface, and it will rise in the capillary. The condition for a liquid to neither rise nor fall is when θ = 90°. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. ### Final Evaluation of Statements: - Statement 1: Incorrect - Statement 2: Correct - Statement 3: Correct - Statement 4: Incorrect ### Summary of Correct Options: The correct options are: - Viscosity of gases increases with temperature. - Surface tension of liquid decreases with temperature.
