Molecular motion in liquids Flashcards
1
Q
Define viscosity
A
Resistance of a liquid to flow
2
Q
How is viscosity affected by temperature?
A
Viscosity decreases as temperature increases due to Ek increasing and overcoming attractive forces
3
Q
Define diffusion coefficient (D)
A
Rate at which the molecules move through liquid
4
Q
How is diffusion coefficient affected by temperature?
A
D increases with temp - overcomes intermolecular forces
