It cannot "cause" viscosity, but - Imagine a crowd of peeople waiting for a football match, walking around outside the stadium. Now imagine them loosely holding hands in a random way. The hand-holding is not unlike the effect of h-bonding.

Boiling point and viscosity of sulfuric acid are high.why?

The high B.P. and high viscosity of H2SO4 is due to presence of hydrogen bonding which link its molecules in larger aggregates


Why is there a maximum in the plot of viscosity vs mole fraction?

Most likely hydrogen bonding between species in the mixture. This causes large "polymer-like" groupings and increases viscosity


Which is a plausible reason for why a given liquid has a high viscosity?

A plausible reason why a given liquid has a high viscosity is that the compound has a high amount of hydrogen bonding. Examples of liquids with a high viscosity are lava, honey and corn syrup.

How do hydrogen bonds affect the viscosities of propan-1-ol ethane-12-diol and propane-123-triol?

Propane is a gas and has extremely low viscosity. Propan-1-ol has 1 OH group and can hydrogen bond and is higher viscosity. Ethane-1,2-diol has two OH groups and double the tendency to hydrogen bond and is much higher viscosity. Propane-1,2,3-triol is also known as glycerin/glycerol and is almost like a syrup as it has such high viscosity. This is because it has 3 OH groups and thus 3 sites for hydrogen bonding.

Which molecule will not exhibit hydrogen bonding?

FON Remember this as it mean only hydrogen bonded to fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen will exhibit hydrogen bonding H2O ( water ) = hydrogen bonding as hydrogen is bonded to oxygen CO ( carbon monoxide ) = no hydrogen bonding Think electronegative differences.


Is the hydrogen sulphide have hydrogen bonding or not?

No.
