Classic chemistry experiments: viscosity

No comments

Compare the viscosity of treacle-like and water-like liquids

The viscosity of a liquid is another term for the thickness of a liquid. Thick treacle-like liquids are viscous; runny liquids like water are less viscous. Gases exhibit viscosity in the same way. In this experiment, the viscosity of various liquids are compared.
