Chapter 11, Problem 3E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If the viscosity of glycerol $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{3}}\right)$ is larger or smaller than that of $1$ -propanol $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{7}}\text{OH}\right)$ .

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The explanation for the larger viscosity of glycerol $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}{\left(\text{OH}\right)}_{\text{3}}\right)$ as compared to $1$ -propanol $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{7}}\text{OH}\right)$ .
