Chapter 3, Problem 3G.6E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Order of viscosity from lower to higher value of molecules below has to be determined.

  ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}},{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{CH}}_2{\text{OH,CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{OHCHOHCH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH},{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{OHCH}}_{\text{2}}\text{OH},{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$

Concept Introduction:

Dipole-dipole interactions come into play when partial charges of different dipoles interact with each other. Higher the polarity between molecules more will be dipole-dipole interactions between them and vice-versa. Viscosity is characteristic property of liquid particles that allows resistance to their flow. In other words, it represents opposition to flow of liquids.
