Viscosity

[Kim 3L]

Can the viscosity of a liquid change over time, and if so, what factors contribute to these changes? How is viscosity affected by contaminants or impurities in a liquid?

Hi!
The viscosity of a liquid is able to change as it progresses such as the temp, chemical reactions and the structure of the molecule. If there is a flaw then that can cause the viscosity to increase because it is messing up the molecular arrangement. If the molecule is large then it causes harm.

Hello,
The viscosity of a liquid can change over time. Factors contributing to changes in viscosity include temperature, pressure, and the presence of contaminants or impurities. Contaminants can increase viscosity by introducing additional interactions between molecules or by disrupting the regular arrangement of molecules in the liquid.
