Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Viscosity of liquid decreases with an increase in temperature.
Statement II: The units of viscosity are kg m-1 s-2.
- Viscosity of liquids decreases with increasing temperature.
Step 1: Understanding viscosity behavior
- Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow.
- As temperature increases, the intermolecular forces weaken, decreasing viscosity.
- This applies to liquids, whereas for gases, viscosity increases with temperature due to molecular kinetic energy increase.
Step 2: Understanding viscosity units
- The SI unit of viscosity is the Pascal-second (Pa·s), which is equivalent to N·s/m2
- This can be written as: Pa·s = kg/m·s
- The given unit (kg m-1 s-2) is incorrect for viscosity but correct for pressure.

A hydrocarbon containing C and H has 92.3% C. When 39 g of hydrocarbon was completely burnt in O2, x moles of water and y moles of CO2 were formed. x moles of water is sufficient to liberate 0.75 moles of H2 with Na metal. What is the weight (in g) of oxygen consumed?
At 300 K, for the reaction A → P, the ∆Ssys is 5 J K-1 mol-1. What is the heat absorbed (in kJ mol-1) by the system?
