Glycerol is expected to have a larger viscosity than 1-propanol because glycerol is a larger molecule with more hydrogen bonding sites, leading to stronger intermolecular forces. These stronger interactions result in greater resistance to flow and higher viscosity compared to 1-propanol.

Since water is a much smaller molecule than octane C8H18 one would expect it to flow more quickly However studies show that water is almost four times as viscous as octane How can this be explain?

Octane molecules have almost no interaction with each other but water molecules link up together via a process called hydrogen bonding. This increases the viscosity, boiling and melting points for water.


Would you expect a chlorine ion to be smaller than a magnesium ion?

No, I would expect a chlorine ion to be slightly larger than a magnesium ion. Chlorine gains an electron to form a chloride ion, which increases its electron cloud size, while magnesium loses electrons to form a magnesium ion, making it slightly smaller due to the loss of electron shielding.


Where on the filter paper do you expect the larger molecules to be located in the final chromatogram?

Larger molecules will typically be located closer to the baseline of the chromatogram, as they move more slowly through the stationary phase on the filter paper and do not travel as far as smaller molecules during the chromatography process.


Would you expect the boiling point of chlorine to be higher or lower than that of iodine?

I would expect the boiling point of chlorine to be lower than that of iodine. This is because chlorine is a smaller molecule with weaker London dispersion forces, while iodine is a larger molecule with stronger forces due to its larger size.


What would you expect if you hydrolyze cellulose?

Hydrolyzing cellulose breaks down the long cellulose chains into glucose molecules. This process requires enzymes to catalyze the reaction. As a result, you would expect to obtain glucose as the main product of cellulose hydrolysis.

Does the viscosity of fuel affects the fuel pump of ic engine and how?

The difference in the viscosity of gasoline a, gasoline b and gasoline c is so small that I would not expect it to affect a fuel pump at all.


Why do you expect a piccolo to have a higher note?

Because it is smaller


Would you expect larger or smaller molecules to be components of a more viscous liquid?

Larger molecules tend to contribute to higher viscosity in liquids because they have more surface area to interact with neighboring molecules, resulting in stronger intermolecular forces that impede flow. Smaller molecules typically have lower viscosity as they facilitate easier movement between molecules.

How does temperature affect viscosity of motor oil?

Yes. If the temperature changes enough, the viscosity of oil will change, too. Oil is designed to resist changes in viscosity with temperature changes, at least to a degree. But if the change (either hotter or colder) is extreme, then the viscocity will most certainly change. And, as you'd expect, as it gets hotter, the viscosity of oil decreases (it get thinner), and as it gets colder, the viscosity of oil increases (it gets thicker).

What type of oil change do you get for a Chevy Malibu?

The brand is your choice. Most major brands are all good. The weight and viscosity is listed in your owner's manual. As you did not list the model year, you cannot possibly expect an answer.


Can you have smaller front tires than the rear?

You can if the suspension has been designed to run that way. You cannot just put smaller tires on the front of a regular car and expect it to handle well, it will give problems


Can you mix motor oil viscosities?

Short Answer is Yes but don't mix brands Long answers From the Chevron.com site: "Can I mix different viscosity grades of motor oils?" "Yes. It is always advisable to not mix motor oil brands, however, different viscosity grades of the same brand motor oil are compatible. Be aware that mixing viscosity grades will turn out a product that is different in viscosity than either what was originally in the engine or what was added." From Shell.ca: "If you mix viscosity grades such as a 5W30 low-viscosity oil and a 10W40 higher-viscosity oil, it is reasonable to expect that the resulting product will have viscosity characteristics which are thicker than the 5W30, but thinner than the 10W40. This change does not reflect incompatibility - it's simply a re-balancing of the viscosity characteristics. In all other ways, the product should work as expected. But there's absolutely no danger about incompatibility resulting from mixing engine oils," Miller says. "We've tested all of our grades and brands, and we haven't observed any problems." From Mobil1.com: "For our customers to choose a viscosity grade, we recommend they follow the engine manufacturer's recommendations as indicated in their owner's manual. There is no need to mix two Mobil 1 viscosity grades when one will do; however, we see no problem mixing different SAE grades of Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic series motor oils."


How big will a mix lab puppy get?

Depends on that its mixed with. The average size for a purebred Labrador is 55lbs-75lbs for the females, and 60lbs-90lbs for the males. If the other breed was smaller, expect smaller, vise versa if larger.


Why you need to multiply when converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit?

Because if you measure the same amount but with a smaller unit, you expect towind up with a bigger number of them. For example, there are more teaspoons ofwater in a swimming pool than gallons of water in the same pool.If you expect to have a bigger number after converting the units, then multiplicationis definitely the way to go.


Why do you expect small satellites to be irregular in shape?

Larger moons have enough mass to gravitationally pull themselves into a spherical shape, and smaller ones do not.
