Explain the effect of increasing the temperature of a liquid, on intermolecular forces operating between its particles, what will happen to the viscosity of a liquid if its temperature is increased?
When there is an increase in the temperature, the intermolecular force which operates between the particle reduces, subsequently the strength of the bond increases along with the kinetic energy. Thus, when there is an increase in the temperature, there is a reduction in the viscosity. This is a result of the fact that viscosity decreases when there is reduction in the intermolecular forces.
