The surface area of the liquid can decrease when there is increase in the temperature of the day,what is called evaporation is been taking place in the surface of the liquid,wchich decreases the liquid area.

What would you use to measure using a graduated cylinder?
You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.You would measure liquids with a graduated cylinder.
How many inches in 150 gallons?
It is not possible to answer this question, because you are combining two unequal terms. Inches measures distances. 12 inches in a foot. Gallons measure the amount of liquids. There are so many gallons of water in a bath tub or in a swimming pool. It is not possible to say how many inches are in a gallon.
What are the functions of beaker?
To hold liquids and solids. Similar to a glass in a kitchen but used in a laboratory and has a spout for ease in pouring liquids.
What are examples of things you can measure in a cup?
Cooking ingredients, liquids, sand etc. The most common would be water and other liquids.
What is the difference between measuring and mixing cups?
measuring cups are used for measuring different liquids and mixing cups are for when you have some liquids that need to get mixed you mix them in it.
What is tendency of liquids to decrease their surface area to the smallest size possible?
viscosity
What does volatility refer to?
the tendency of liquids to form a vapor
How you can increases or decreases viscosity of liquids?
Change its temperature.
What characteristics do ionic liquids have?
Such liquids have high density, good electrical conductivity and become solid as temperature decreases from their melting point.
How are viscosity and temperature related?
For most liquids viscosity decreases as temperature increases.
How is volume and density affected when the temperature is decreased?
In general when temperature is decreased the volume decreases and the density increases. This is not true for water around freezingg temperatures, the volume increases and the density decreases and ice floats.
How the coefficient of viscosity of a liquid changes with temperature?
The coefficient of viscosity of liquids decreases with an increases in temperature.
Why do liquids have a tendency to acquire minimum surface area?
The molecules in a liquid (such as water) are attracted to each other by electrostatic force. As a result, they stick together, not to the extent that a solid does, but to some extent, and this causes them to contract into compact shapes when possible.
Is a fluid a gas and a liquid?
Fluids are substances that have the tendency to flow. Gases and liquids are both fluids because they both flow.
Answers for True or False Viscosity is the tendency of a fluid to resist flow Both gases and liquids can display viscosity?
Truw
Why if you boil water on a high mountain it will be lower than 100 degrees Celsius?
Because the air pressure is lower, and the boiling point of water (and other liquids) decreases as the pressure decreases.
What happens to the solubility of gases when temperature is increased?
Solubility of gases in liquids decreases with increase in temperature. When gases are dissolved in liquids, heat is evolved. Following Le Chatelier's principle, as the temperature increases, the solubility decreases. This is the reason that aquatic species are more comfortable in cold water as compared in warm water.
