Chapter 16, Problem 16C.7BE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The time required by a ${\text{CCl}}_{\text{4}}$ molecule to take jump through one molecular diameter has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Viscosity is called the property of a fluid that is “a measure of its resistance to flow”.  It is the consequence of a molecular attraction and denotes the internal friction of a moving fluid.  A fluid with high viscosity resists motion due to its high molecular interaction.  The substances with low intermolecular interaction have lower viscosity.
