Ethylene glycol has stronger intermolecular attractions than water. Do you expect the following properties to have larger or smaller values?
|
|
1)
Surface tension of water
since intermolecular attraction is weaker in water,
Surface tension of water will be smaller
2)
Boiling point of ethylene glycol
since intermolecular attraction is stronger in ethylene glycol,
Boiling point of ethylene glycol will be larger
3)
Freezing point of ethylene glycol
since intermolecular attraction is stronger in ethylene glycol,
Freezing point of ethylene glycol will be larger
4)
Viscosity of ethylene glycol
since intermolecular attraction is stronger in ethylene glycol,
Surface tension of ethylene glycol will be larger
Hence its viscosity will be larger
