Question

Consider the following molecules: Na2O, HCl, NH3, N2, CH3CH2OH. Which would have the highest viscosity? 

follow below steps to answer the question.

  1. Indicate a 'plan' on how you intend to solve the problem.
    1. You should have a numerical list.  These can be phrases (not complete sentences) if you want, as long as the material is sufficiently easy to follow.
    2. Steps should be detailed.  For example, "look in the book for the equation" does not work as you could not use that step while taking exams.  
  2. Show the step by step solution of the problem.
    1. Using your plan, (and labeling each step), solve your predicted exam question.  
    2. Show your work.  For example, if you have a scientific notation question, you CANNOT say "move the decimal" but must illustrate each step of the process.  If one step requires dimensional analysis to solve you can show your set up using arrows like I do in our videos - but show all of your work.  
    3. Explain each step of your process.  
    4. Arrive at the answer in this section.  
  3. Present your "Final Answer."
    1. Your answer in its correct form should be presented or reiterated.  Units, correct notation, sig figs, etc should be considered.  
    2. Your answer should be correct for your problem.

Step 1-Introduction

Viscosity is the property of the the fluids, It is resistance o the flaw of the fluids. When the fluid moves on a surface, the constituent particles of it cause friction and fluid cannot flow freely. Greater is the viscosity, thicker will be the fluid. Honey is perfect example of viscous fluid.
