Question:
When the temperature increases, the viscosity of
When the temperature increases, the viscosity of
Show Hint
Focus on the relationship between temperature and viscosity in both gases and liquids. Remember that for gases, increased temperature leads to lower viscosity.

- gases decreases but liquids increases.
- gases increases but liquids decreases.
- both gases and liquids increase.
- both gases and liquids decrease.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
As the temperature increases, the viscosity of gases generally decreases, while the viscosity of liquids increases due to the higher molecular movement and interaction in the liquid phase.
