The co-efficient of viscosity of liquid can be determined by comparing its coefficient of viscosity with the known coefficient of viscosity of a liquid. Generally water is taken as the known liquid for comparison. As this method requires the comparison with another liquid, it is a relative method. In relative method for determination of coefficient of viscosity (η) of a liquid, Poiseuille s equation can be used. Poiseuille s equation η =πpr 4 t\8vl. (1) Where v=volume of the liquid following through a capillary tube of length (l) in t sec. The radius of the tube is r cm and P is the driving pressure in dyne\cm 2. P can be replaced by hρg, where h= difference in height between the levels of the liquid in the two limbs, g= acceleration due to gravity and ρ is the density of the liquid. Now if the same capillary and the same volume of liquids are used, then for the two liquids the following equation can be deduced. η 1 \η 2 =ρ 1 t 1 \ρ 2 t 2.. (2) Where, ρ 1 and ρ 2 are the densities and t 1 and t 2 are time of flow for the two liquids. So if η 2 is known, then by determining t 1 and t 2,ρ 1 and ρ 2, η 1 can be calculated. η 1 =η 2 x ρ 1 t 1 \ρ 2 t 2 (3) In the present study we are measuring the relative viscosity in comparison of viscosity of water. So as η 2 the viscosity of water and it s density (ρ 2 ) is known (from the chart), then by measuring t 2 it s time of flow and ρ 1, t 1 the density and time of flow of other liquids, viscosity can be calculated. Times of flow of the liquids are determined using Oswald s viscometer and stopwatch. Densities are determined using specific gravity bottle. The density of water varies from to gm/c.c in the temperature range 0 0 C to 50 0 C and can be taken as 1 gm/c.c, the equation then becomes η 1 = η 2 x ρ 1 t 1 \ t 2 centipoise (4).

2 PROCEDURE: 1. Determination of density of liquid using specific gravity bottle: The specific gravity bottle is cleaned, dried and weighed empty. Then it is filled with water and weighed. Then the bottle is filled with stock solution and then unknown solution and weighed. The densities of other solutions are then determined by calculations. 2. The time of flow of same volume of each liquid is determined using an Ostwald s Viscometer. The time of flow of same volume of water is determined using same Viscometer. The data thus collected is put into the equation (4) which is the working formula. 3. Preparation of solution: Stock solution: 10% sugar solution is prepared at first. Then 6% and 3%solution are prepared from the stock solution in the following way. % of solution Volume of stock solution Volume of Water Total volume of solution 4.

So prior to the experiment all the apparatus were well cleaned with distilled water so that no impurities be present in it. If the temperatures of measurement are not fixed, the viscosity of the solutions at different temperature will be different. So all the viscosity measurement of the solutions are performed under same temperature. The measurement of time flow was done correctly. The viscometer was cleaned after every single measurement. Exactly same volume of solvent / solution were used in the viscometer, neither the relative viscosity measured will be erratic. For measurement of densities, the specific gravity bottle was dried well, filled fully with fluid and lid were introduced. Any error in measuring weight, the overall experiment will be erratic. So; proper care was taken while measuring the fluid flow as well as density measurement. CONCLUSION: From the graph the concentration of sugar in the supplied unknown sugar solution is found to be ( ) % at 0 C.
