Two statements are given below. Statement I: Viscosity of liquid decreases with increase in temperature. Statement II: The units of viscosity coefficient are Pascal sec. 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-II is not correct.
  4. Statement-I is not correct but statement-II is correct.

Solution

Viscosity depends strongly on temperature in liquids it usually decreases with increasing temperature because temperature increases 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 $\mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$.
