Molecules in a liquid like to stick together. An example is the weak hydrogen bonds in water. It is these bonds that draw water up a plant as the water is used by the cells at the top the weak bonds draw additional water up from the roots (there is no pump). In oils the hydrocarbons stick to each other in the same way, as one moves so do the rest. When you add dish washing liquid to oily water you break these bonds and so break the viscosity.

Viscosity of petroleum?
viscosity is the fluid resistance against flowoil viscosity units is centipoise or centistoke (cp)
What mainly determines the viscosity of a magma?
Viscosity is the measure of a liquids resistance to flow. In the case of magma, the hotter it is, the lower the viscosity.
Why does the pitch of a tubular bell lower when dipped into water?
frequancy decrease damping due to viscosity
What is the engine oil viscosity of a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?
4.0L is 6 quarts of 10W30 4.7L is 6 quarts of 5W30
What fluids have the highest viscosity?
lots of ones like; Tar, Bitumen... these are fluids that are low on the fractional distillation tank....
How does viscosity happen?
Viscosity doesn't happen. Viscosity is a measure of how easily a liquid flows.
What will happen if viscosity is low?
For a material with low viscosity the flowing is easier.
Predict the change in viscosity as heat is added to or removed from a sample of oil?
think of it as this viscosity is thick when it is heated what will happen
Why viscosity occurs?
i don't know beczuse it happen and you can explain it.
What would happen if you put high viscosity oil in your car in the summer?
Very poor lubrication at startup.
What is the difference between viscosity and viscosity index?
Viscosity is resistance to flow of oil Viscosity Index is a scale to measure viscosity
Does soda have a low viscosity?
The viscosity is similar to the viscosity of water.
What has Low density and high viscosity?
honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah. honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah.
What is viscosity in Filipino?
Viscosity in Filipino is called "kadalisayan" or "lantayang".
If a substance pours slowly it has a high?
viscosity
What is the viscosity definitions?
Viscosity is a fluids resistance to flow. A high viscosity fluid would be thick, a low viscosity fluid would be thin.
How do you increase viscosity?
Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. When temperature decreases Viscosity generally increases. Viscosity generally decreases when the temperature increases.
