Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Reason for glycerol being thicker than ethylene glycol and ethylene glycol being thicker than ethanol is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Viscosity is defined as quantification of the internal frictional force arising between adjacent layers of fluids in relative motion. In simpler words, it is defined as the resistance of a liquid to flow.

1. Volatile impurities usually decrease the boiling point of the liquid.TRUE or FALSE 2. Solid organic compounds with weak cohesive forces exhibit higher melting points. TRUE or FALSE 3. What is the intermolecular forces of attraction present in the following organic compounds; 1-propanol, 2-butanol and ethanol
Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) and ethanol (C2H5OH) have the same formula (C2H6O), but the boiling point of dimethyl ether is -25 °C while that of ethanol is 78 °C. Explain this difference in boiling points.
Propane boils at -42 degree Celsius, ethanal boils at 20.8 degree Celsius and ethanol boils at 78.3 degree Celsius. Although their molecular masses are very similar, their boiling points are very different, explain why?
