Increase in kinetic energy can overcome ...

Increase in kinetic energy can overcome intermolecular forces of attraction. How will the viscosity of liquid be affected by the increase in temperature ?

A

Increase

B

No effect

C

Decrease

D

No regular pattern will be followed

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
With increase of temperature, kinetic energy increases. Hence, forces of attraction are more easily overcome and, therefore, viscosity decreases.
