What is the viscosity for iodine?

Iodine is a solid crystal, and is not viscous. It may be dissolved in alcohol, and viscosity will vary based on the solution made. If the crystal is heated to extremely high temperatures it will become a vapor, which can have its viscosity measured.

Is silver viscous?

silver is a metal and solid at room temp. it has no viscosity since viscosity is the ability to flow. Silver has its own viscosity, ranging from XX,XXX values either dilluted or pure.. it is measured using voscometer


What unit do you use to measure corn syrup?

The answer depends on what characteristic is being measured: its mass, volume, viscosity, and so on.


Explain what viscosity is and how it would change as matter changes states I cant find the answer?

Viscosity is a property of liquids and gases. In every day terms syrup is viscous and water isn't. Liquids with high viscosity are difficult to stir, there is resistance to movement through the liquid. A change of state from liquid to gas would cause the viscosity to reduce. Technically viscosity is a resistance to shear or tensile stresses. Viscosity can be measured for all liquids and gases. Wikipedia gives a technical description.


How do you measure the flow of a fluid?

Flow of a fluid is measured by its viscosity. Units of measure may be in unit volume per unit of time


Is viscosity a property of a gas?

yes viscosity is a property of gas


How can we measure the viscosity of very viscous polymeric materials?

You need a viscosimeter made for the fluid you are measuring, but all viscosity measurements are done in the same way: you put a measured quantity of a fluid in a container with a known-size hole in the bottom, and time how long it takes for all the fluid to empty through the hole.


How do you measure the viscosity of different liquids?

There are several methods. Most use the time it takes, for a standard measured volume to pass through a small hole. It takes the form of a viscosity cup, which holds the required amount and has the standard sized hole at the bottom. Seal the hole with your finger, pour liquid in upto the mark, let go your finger at the same time as starting a stopwatch. Stop the watch when the stream first breaks. Viscosity is measured in seconds (redwood scale)
