  1. Hot, faster than the same volume of water, and depending on the type of oil, way hotter than boiling water.

    Thinner as the molecules become more vibrant, as they absorb the heat energy, expanding and resulting in the molecules taking up more space, so further apart, and so easier to pass each other, hence less viscous.

    Less viscous, therefore less friction.

    Different in colour - slightly, because of small volume expansion and vibration of the molecules.....

    Volatility is increased, so the smaller molecules may be able to escape and evaporate.

    These small molecules may well combust - the gas may burn.

    The residue becomes thicker and eventually becomes tar, if heated high enough, long enough, in the absence of oxygen in molecular form.


  2. less viscous? I don't understand the question.

  3. i tried it and it burned, that is candle wax, it burned maybe at  100 degrees Celsius coz it burned on my stovetop, maybe similar but at a hotter temp. to any kind of oil but if it is cooking oil, use caution!!!

    :-))

  4. Really hot, hot enough to get a burn.  If you keep on heating it'll start to burn and smoke, maybe even burst into flame if you're not careful.,

  5. Actually it becomes thinner (less viscous), and possibly flammable in an empty frying pan on the stove (happened to my mom once, but she put a lid on it and took it off the heat to put out the fire).

  6. very very very HOT!  

  7. hot...

    wat are you trying to say?
