How coefficient of liquid and gas depend on temperature ?
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
Coefficient of viscosity of a liquid decreases while that of a gas increase, with increasing temperature. This is because the viscosity in gases depend upon the molecular momentum exchange while in liquid it depends upon the cohesive force.
$\Rightarrow$ In gas molecular momentum increases due to increase of temperature, hence viscosity increases.
$\Rightarrow$ In the liquid cohesive force decreases with temperature increase, hence viscosity decreases.
