Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of pressure on the viscosity of gases?
  • Step 1: Understand what viscosity means. Viscosity is a measure of how thick or sticky a fluid is.
  • Step 2: Know that gases are different from liquids. Gases can expand and compress easily.
  • Step 3: Learn that pressure is the force applied to a gas. Increasing pressure means pushing the gas particles closer together.
  • Step 4: When gas particles are closer together, they collide more often and with more force.
  • Step 5: These more frequent and forceful collisions make it harder for the gas to flow.
  • Step 6: Therefore, as pressure increases, the viscosity of the gas also increases.
