Questions and Answers

What characteristic distinguishes cohesion from adhesion in fluids?

Cohesion applies to gases only, while adhesion applies to liquids.

Cohesion involves the attraction between different substances, while adhesion involves attraction between similar substances.

Cohesion is the force that holds similar molecules together, while adhesion is the force that holds different molecules together. (correct)

Cohesion refers to the pressure exerted by a fluid, while adhesion refers to fluid flow patterns.

Which of the following statements about the properties of gases compared to liquids is correct?

Gases flow more easily than liquids due to less intermolecular attraction. (correct)

Gases have a stronger cohesion than liquids.

Gases are incompressible, while liquids are compressible.

Gases have a definite volume while liquids do not.

What is viscosity primarily a measure of?

The buoyancy of the fluid.

The pressure within the fluid.

The fluid's resistance to flow. (correct)

The density of a fluid.
