Which of the following has high viscosity-water or glycerine? |
|
Answer» Viscosity is another type of bulk property defined as a liquid’s resistance to flow. When the intermolecular forces of attraction are strong within a liquid, there is a larger viscosity. Therefore, molecular forces regarding to chemical bonds should to be stronger for glycerine than water. The viscosity of water results from hydrogen bonds between the positively charged hydrogen atoms and the negatively charged oxygen atoms. Glycerine (HOH2C-CHOH-CH2OH) contains three hydroxyl groups, which leads to a higher number of hydrogen bonds and therefore stronger bonds between molecules have higher viscosity. |

|
| 16845. |
Compressibility factor Z is less than one for any gas. Why? |
|
Answer» The deviation from ideal behaviour can be measured in terms of compressibility factor Z, which is the ratio of product PV and nRT. At intermediate pressure, most gases have z < 1, because gases show ideal behaviour when the volume occupied is large so that the volume of the molecules can be neglected in comparison to the volume of gas. Also, gases have some force of attraction between the molecules. |

Why does the vegetable cook with difficulty at hill stations? |
|
Answer» The boiling point of water depends upon the pressure on its surface. It increases with increase of pressure and decreases on lowering of pressure. At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is low and, therefore water boils below 100°C. Hence, sufficient heat is not supplied for cooking the vegetables at hill stations. This difficulty may be overcome by using a pressure cooker. |
