Viscosity of Liquids - Capillary Length Test
Four funnels are connected to differing lengths of capillary tubing. The greater the length of the capillary tube, the longer it takes for the water to flow through the apparatus.

This is an introductory movie showing, in wider angle, the manner in which the experiment for measuring relative viscosity is performed.
The relative viscosity of water can be measured using a stopwatch, and compared to other liquids.
The relative viscosity of hexane can be measured using a stopwatch, and compared to other liquids.
The relative viscosity of octane can be measured using a stopwatch, and compared to other liquids.
The relative viscosity of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane can be measured using a stopwatch, and compared to other liquids.
The relative viscosity of 1-pentanol can be measured using a stopwatch, and compared to other liquids.
An ice cube made from normal water floats in a beaker of liquid water.
An ice cube of deuterium oxide (containing a heavier isotope of hydrogen) sinks in water.
A normal ice cube is less dense than liquid water, but a deuterium oxide ice cube is more dense than liquid water.
