Best Answer

Diethyl alcohol does not exsist.

Viscosity of

  1. Diethyl ether, which is ethoxyethane (C2H5OC2H5), is 0.224 cP at 25°C
  2. Ethyl alcohol, which is hydroxyethane (C2H5OH), is 1.074 cP at 25°C
The 2nd being greater because of more intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Water and ether are placed on the palms of both the hands which will cause more cooling ether or water?

Ether has a greater cooling effect than water when smeared on your hands because of its evaporation method. Ether gets its energy from your hands. So when it evaporates, the cooling effect is greater than water.

Viscosity has to do with the thickness of a fluid. Honey is more viscous than water for example. Blood becomes more and more viscous as it dries.


Why is dimethyl ether soluble in water but pentane is not?

The oxygen in the dimethyl ether gives it more polarity than pentane; thus making it soluble in water


How does honey flow more slowly than water?

It is due to the difference in viscosity . Honey is more viscous than water due to strong inter molecular forces. On the other hand water is less viscous than honey . Therefore, it's easier to pour water as compared to honey . :-)


Is water denser than ether?

Yes, water is denser than ether. Water has a higher density than ether due to the molecular composition of water being more tightly packed compared to the molecules in ether.
