What happens to the viscosity of a gas as temperature increases?
Correct Answer: Viscosity increases.
- Step 1: Understand what viscosity means. Viscosity is a measure of how thick or sticky a fluid is.
- Step 2: Know that gases are made up of tiny particles (molecules) that move around.
- Step 3: Realize that when the temperature increases, the energy of these gas molecules also increases.
- Step 4: As the energy increases, the molecules move faster and collide with each other more often.
- Step 5: These more frequent collisions make it harder for the gas to flow smoothly.
- Step 6: Therefore, as temperature increases, the viscosity of the gas increases.
