Questions
The increasing order of viscosity of the following compounds is given as
which of the following is the correct reason?
a
Hexane has strongest intermolecular forces
b
H2O has strongest intermolecular forces
c
Glycerol has strongest intermolecular forces
d
weaker the intermolecular forces, greater is the viscosity
detailed solution
Correct option is C
As stronger the inter molecular forces, greater will be the viscosity. Glycerol has strongest intermolecular force due to hydrogen bonding (three H-bond per molecule). Hence, the correct order is hexane < H2O < glycerol.Talk to our academic expert!
