The correct answer would be D because on increasing the temperature of the liquid, the liquid will expand due to which its volume will increase.

We know that,

ρ = m/v.
K=(ACpρ^4/3)/m^1/3.

May increase or decrease depending upon liquid.

So, the Answer should be D.

As temperature increases, the randomness of molecular movements increases. This obstructs transport of heat through liquids. Thus, the thermal conductivity of liquids decreases with increase in temperature.

A is the correct answer.

Ajay said:   6 years ago
B is the right answer.

Thermal conductivity of liquids decreases with rise in temperature as the liquid expands and molecules move apart.

Option A is the Right Answer.

Sushil said:   8 years ago
K for most of the liquids and gases increases with increase in temperature. So, option A is the correct option.
