Viscosity

Which liquid is more viscous at room temperature, water or molasses? Explain why and what viscosity is?

I'd say molasses because it is a little bit like yeast, or it help yeast. So that means that it helps bread or dough expand. It helps food turn into and maintain like a creamy texture.

I would say molasses is more viscous. Molasses is thick so it will be viscous. Viscosity is the measure of the resistance of a liquid to flow.

Molases is more viscous. Molasses is more thick. It also has a low evaporation point.

Malasses is has a higer vicosity rate. it is made fron suger cane and beause of its high suger content it is sticky and doze not like to flow because of it

Molasses is more viscous than water is. Water is thinner than molasses. Water also has a higher evaporation rate than molasses.

Molasses is more viscous. Viscosity is defined by the tendency of a liquid to oppose flow. Since molasses is thicker I think it has a higher viscosity.

The Molassa is more viscous. The reason is because molasses is more thick. The would be a higher velocity in molasses because of the thickness it is.

Molasses because it has to deal with the word viscous and that means stinky. Also it is slow like the saying slower then molasses. Viscosity is the measure of the resistance of a liquid to flow. Molasses has more viscosity.

Molasses is thicker and less likley to flow easily. It is the measure of the resistance of a liquid to flow
