Question

The boiling points, surface tensions, and viscosities of
water and several alcohols are as shown below:(a) From ethanol to propanol to n-butanol the boiling
points, surface tensions, and viscosities all increase. What
is the reason for this increase? (b) How do you explain
the fact that propanol and ethylene glycol have similar
molecular weights (60 versus 62 amu), yet the viscosity of
ethylene glycol is more than 10 times larger than propanol?
(c) How do you explain the fact that water has the
highest surface tension but the lowest viscosity?
