Solution

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Fluids with greater viscosity flows slowly.

Acetone is the least viscous fluid and resin is the most viscous fluid.

So, the increasing order of viscosity is as below:
Acetone < Water < Honey < Resin

The viscosity of liquids _________ with increase in temperature.

Q. When temperature is increased, then which of the following is true?
a) Viscosity of the gas increases.
b) Viscosity of the gas decreases.
c) Viscosity of the liquid decreases.
d) Viscosity of the liquid increases.

Viscosity of a liquid arises due to strong intermolecular forces existing between the molecules. Stronger the intermolecular forces, greater is the viscosity. Name the intermolecular forces existing in the following liquids and arrange them in the increasing order of their viscosities. Also give reason for the assigned order in one line.
