Statement (A): When the temperature increases the viscosity of gases increases and the viscosity of liquids decreases. Statement (B): Water does not wet an oily glass because cohesive force of oil is less than that of water. Statement (C) : A liquid will wet a surface of a solid if the angle of contact is greater than 90°.

  1. A A. B. and C are false
  2. B A and B false,
    C is true
  3. C B and C false, A is true
  4. D A and C false, B is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) B and C false, A is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement A: In liquid: With the rise in temperature, viscosity of a liquid decreases because the intermolecular attractive force between consecutive layers decreases as temperature increases. In gasses: The important cause of viscosity is randomness/molecular collision due to…
