When the temperature is raised, the viscosity of the liquid decreases. This is because

A

of decreased volume of solution

B

increase in temperature increases the average kinetic energy of molecules which overcomes the attractive force between them.

C

of decrease covalent and hydrogen bond forces

D

of increased attraction between molecules.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Viscosity decreases with increase in temperature because of increase in average kinetic energy of molecules and decrease of attractive forces among the molecules.
