Truth Betold Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Hey guys I need some help with science fair. I know how to do it but I need this for the conclusions and data. Do liquids with lower viscosity freeze faster than those with a higher one? P.S like why does this happen.
npts2020 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I don't think it is true. For example maple syrup is more viscous than water but I have never seen it freeze, even at sub-zero F temperatures (the sap freezes at near 32F though).
zule Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 If you add solutes to a liquid, it will increase its viscosity and, at the same time, it will be necessary a lower temperature to get it freeze. However, there is not a direct relationship between the viscosity of a liquid and its freezing temperature. There are other properties to take into account.
