Given below are two statements. Statement I: Viscosity of liquid decreases with increase in temperature. Statement II: The units of viscosity are $\mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$. The correct answer is
  1. Both statement-I and statement-II are correct
  2. Both statement-I and statement-II are not correct
  3. Statement-I is correct but statement-I is not correct
  4. Statement-I is not correct but statement-II is correct

Solution

Viscosity depends strongly on temperature in liquids it usually decrease with increasing temperature because temperature increase the kinetic energy of the molecule as a result the molecule overcomes the intermolecular attractive force between them. Units of viscosity is Pascal-second or $\mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$.
