What fluids have a lower viscosity than water?

The viscosity of a liquid is a measure of its resistance to flow. Water, gasoline, and other liquids that flow freely have a low viscosity. Honey, syrup, motor oil, and other liquids that do not flow freely, like those shown in Figure 1, have higher viscosities.

What liquid is thinner than water?

Examples include rubbing alcohol, but also motor oil, mineral oil, or corn oil. Some of these are more viscous than water but they float on water. If by “thinner” you mean both less dense and less viscous, then rubbing alcohol would be the best answer off the top of my head.

Which of the following has least viscosity?

Of all fluids, gases have the lowest viscosities, and thick liquids have the highest.

Does milk have a higher viscosity than water?

The viscosity of 5\% lactose solution at a given temperature is not much greater than that of water but skim milk has an appreciable viscosity approaching to that of whole milk….Table.10.1 Viscosity of whey and various types of milk.

Is ethylene glycol more viscous than water?

The hydrogen bonding in ethylene glycol. It’s also the increased number of hydrogen bonds in ethylene glycol that makes it more viscous (less runny) than ethanol (or water).

Is glass a viscous fluid?

The question “Is glass solid or liquid?” has no clear answer. In terms of molecular dynamics and thermodynamics, it is possible to justify various different views that it is a highly viscous liquid, an amorphous solid, or simply that glass is another state of matter that is neither liquid nor solid.

Is vinegar thinner than water?

Water has a density of about one gram per cubic centimeter (depending a little on temperature and pressure). Household vinegar consists almost entirely of water, but with some acetic acid molecules dissolved in it. In general, dissolving stuff in water makes it more dense, making vinegar the densest of the three.

Is gas thinner than water?

The density of gas is about 720 kg per cubic meter. So gas is lighter (less dense) than water.

What are some examples of viscous liquids?

This corresponds to the informal concept of “thickness” — for example, honey is thicker and has a much higher viscosity than water. According to Wikipedia, viscosity is the friction between the molecules of fluid….What Is Viscosity?

Does a non viscous fluid exist?

There may be viscous or non-viscous liquid flow. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s thickness, and viscous fluids are considered very gloppy fluids, such as motor oil or shampoo. Non-viscous fluids are classified as fluids that have no resistance or negligible resistance to internal friction.

What is low viscosity of a liquid?

A liquid with a low internal resistance to flow is described as having a low viscosity (such as water at room temperature). Note that there is a criterion that allows the fluid to be classified as low viscosity or highly viscous without comparing with others, but absolutely.

Does ether have a low viscosity?

Gases have much lower viscosities than any liquid, but are fluids. Comparing liquids, ether is quite mobile, at RT just barely condensed, and less viscous than water. Acetone and alcohol will be low.

Does Mercury have a high or low viscosity?

But if you ask about kinematic viscosity, which is dynamic viscosity divided by the density of the fluid, then mercury has a VERY low viscosity because it is very dense. Gases have much lower viscosities than any liquid, but are fluids. Comparing liquids, ether is quite mobile, at RT just barely condensed, and less viscous than water.

What are some examples of things with low viscosity that are inflammable?

Everything I have come across that is low viscosity is inflammable – acetone, ether, silicone oil, fuel, etc. I have found some confusing things in my research.
