Answer:

viscometer

Physical Pharmacy

BACKGROUND

Ostwald viscometer is use to determine viscosity of Newtonian fluid. When the liquid flow by gravity time required for the liquid to pass between two mark A and B through the capillary tube is determined. The time of flow of liquid under test is compared with time required for the liquid of known viscosity, the viscosity of unknown liquid.1-3

η1 can be determine using following equation.

η1=ʆ1t1/ ʆ2t2 X η2

ʆ1=Density of unknown liquid

t1 =Time of flow of unknown liquid

ʆ2 =Density of standard liquid

t2 =Time of flow of standard liquid

η2=Viscosity of standard liquid

Aim: To determine the viscosity of liquid using Ostwald viscometer.

REQUIREMENTS

Chemical: Distilled water,

Ethanol,

Acetone.

Apparatus: Ostwald viscometer,

Electronic balance,

Stop watch.

PROCEDURE

The viscometer was mounted is vertical position on a suitable stand. Water was filled in to the viscometer up to mark A. The time was counted for water to flow from mark A to mark B. The same procedure was repeated for the test liquid by using the above formula viscosity of the test liquid can be determined.
