Explain the effect of increasing the temperature of a liquid on the intermolecular forces operating between its particles. What will happen to the viscosity of a liquid if its temperature is increased?
(N/A) As the temperature of a liquid is increased,the kinetic energy of the molecules increases,which helps to overcome the intermolecular forces. Consequently,the liquid flows more easily,which results in a decrease in the viscosity of the liquid.
