Viscosity: Thick or Thin?

Chapter 4

Fluids Have the ability to flow Are liquids or gases

States of matter and the Particle Theory.

The five major points of the particle theory of matter are:

Copy the points down from your textbook on page 111

Substances are made up of particles. The state of the substance depends on the arrangement of the particles.

Solid

Particles held tightly Very close together Regular arrangement Vibrate Can’t move from place to place

Liquid

Particles held weakly Very close together Random arrangement Vibrate Constantly move past each other

Gas

No attraction between particles Far apart Random arrangement Vibrate Move quickly in all directions

The Three States of Matter

States of Matter: Solid

Definite Shape Definite volume

Ex.: Liquid

No Definite shape Definite volume

Ex. : Gas

No definite shape No definite volume

Ex.:

melting

freezing

Two examples of vaporization are Evaporation ( slow vaporization) Boiling (rapid vaporization)

What is the difference between vapor and gas? vapor is a liquid at room temperature. gas is a gas at room temperature.

An example of sublimation is frozen carbon dioxide. ( Dry ice)

Assignment: Look and skim through Pg. 110-

why ice cubes form in your freezer.

Viscosity lab reminders Time 1:30:16 1 minute, 30.16 seconds

60 s + 30.16 s = 90.16 sec.

Flow rate cm/sec 10cm ÷ 90.16 sec = 0.111 cm/s( use 3 decimal places)

Average Sum of trials / number of trials

(0.111 +0.125) ÷ 2 = 0.118 cm/s

Ranking flow rate : 1-fastest 4- slowest

viscosity : 1- thickest 4- thinnest.

Flow Rate and Viscosity. Flow rate : How fast a

fluid flows from one point to another. It’s measured in cm/s.

Viscosity: resistance to flow

A fluid with a high flow rate (runs quickly) has a low viscosity. (thin)

Flow Rate A liquid with a low flow rate (runs

slowly) has a high viscosity. (thick)

This is an inverse relationship. ( )

Viscosity Viscosity: resistance to flow High viscosity is thick Low viscosity is thin Viscosity affects the value of

products (ex.medicine, food, paints)(Read this section in your text! pg. 120-121)

Factors that affect Viscosity: In liquids:

Size and shape of particles (bulkiness) affect viscosity. Larger and bulkier particles will increase viscosity.

Factors that affect Viscosity:

Internal friction (particles rubbing on each other) affects viscosity.

Ex. Water particles move past each other easily but honey particles have more internal friction and do not move past each other as easily as water.

Factors that affect Viscosity

Temperature: Viscosity decreases as a fluid is heated and viscosity increases as the fluid is cooled.This is an indirect relationship.

Factors that affect viscosity Continued… In gases:

Size and shape of particles: Larger and bulkier particles increase

viscosity.

Temperature and Internal friction High temperatures increase internal

friction because the particles speed up and collide more frequently-therefore increase viscosity

Cool temperatures keep internal friction and viscosity low.

Translation

For gases, Viscosity increases as temperature increases

and viscosity decreases as temperature decreases.

It is a direct relationship.
