    AIM: To Determine the Coefficient of Viscosity of
    Liquid

    APPARATUS REQUIRED:
    1. Ostwald’s Viscometer
    2. Stop watch
    3. Weighing machine
    CHEMICAL REQUIRED:
    1. Distilled water
    2. Kerosene
    THEORY:
    To determine the viscosity of the given liquid using
    distilled water as a reference, we can employ a
    comparative method typically using a Ostwald’s
    viscometer. One can relate the viscosity at different
    states using the following form:

    ) x n1
    P2xt 2
    n2 =( P1xt 1

    where,
    n1= viscosity of distilled water
    n2= viscosity of the given liquid
    P1= density of distilled water
    P2= density of given liquid
    t1= mean time (distilled water)
    t2= mean time (given liquid)

    PROCEDURE:
    1. First of all, viscometer was taken and rinsed with water. It was
    then filled with distilled water from lower end of the tube but not
    completely.
    2. The distilled water was taken sucked up to upper bulb of the tube.
    The level was kept stationary by holding with finger.
    3. The time taken by distilled water to drop down from upper
    marked level to lower marked level was observed.
    4. The process was continued two or more times.
    5. The same process was carried for given liquid and reading was
    noted.

    OBSERVATION:
    SL. NO. SAMPLE TIME TAKEN MEAN
    (SEC) TIME(SEC)
    1. Distilled water 13.77
    13.84 T1=13.69 sec
    13.47
    2. Kerosene 19.97
    19.66 T2=19.86 sec
    19.96

    CALCULATION:
    Weight of empty specific gravity bottle(w1) = 8.69 g
    Weight of empty specific gravity bottle + distilled water (w2) = 22.78 g

    4
    Weight of specific gravity bottle + kerosene (w3) =19.83 g

    Density of distilled water (P1) = 0.997 g/ml (standard value)


    w 3−w 1
    Density of kerosene (P2) = w 2−w 1
    19.83−8.69
    = 22.78−8.69

    =0.790 g/ml
    Viscosity of distilled water (n1) = 0.997 cp (standard value)
    P 2. t 1
    Viscosity of kerosene (n2) = P 1. t 1 x n1
    0.790 X 19. 86
    = 0.997 X 1 3 , 69 x 0.997

    15. 6894
    = 1 3.64893 x 0.997

    = 1.1495 x 0.997

    = 1.1460 cp

    =0.001146 Pa.S

    RESULT:

    Thus, the coefficient of viscosity of given liquid by using viscometer

    was determine to be 0.001146 Pa.S . Hence, the coefficient of

    viscosity of given liquid can be determine by using viscometer.

    PRECAUTION:

    1. Reading should be noted carefully.

    2. The apparatus should be rinsed with water.

    3. After sucking the liquid up to upper bulb of tube, the level

    should be kept stationary by holding with fingers.
