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.

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.


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.


What cause the water molecules to stick together referred to?

Hydrogen Bonding


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

Sulfuric acid has a high boiling point because of the strong hydrogen bonding between its molecules, which requires a significant amount of energy to break. The viscosity of sulfuric acid is high due to its strong intermolecular forces, which hinder the flow of the liquid.


Is cohesive strength a result of hydrogen bonding?

Yes, cohesive strength in materials like water is due to hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen atoms covalently bond with highly electronegative atoms like oxygen, creating a strong dipole-dipole interaction that holds molecules together. This results in the cohesive properties of substances, such as high surface tension and viscosity.


Why hydrogen bonding is not present in hydrogen sulphide?

Hydrogen bonding occurs between hydrogen atoms and a highly electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. In hydrogen sulfide (H2S), sulfur is less electronegative than oxygen, so the hydrogen bonding is weaker and not significant enough to cause hydrogen bonding in H2S.


Does hydrogen fluoride exhibit hydrogen bonding?

Yes, hydrogen fluoride does exhibit hydrogen bonding.


Is water capable of hydrogen bonding?

Yes, water is capable of hydrogen bonding.


Does CF3H have hydrogen bonding?

No, CF3H (trifluoromethane) does not have hydrogen bonding because hydrogen bonding requires a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative element like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. In CF3H, the hydrogen atom is not bonded to a highly electronegative element.


Why does water have a low viscosity?

Water has a low viscosity because its molecules are small and can easily flow past each other without much resistance. Additionally, water has strong hydrogen bonding which helps keep the molecules connected, reducing friction and viscosity.


Is the hydrogen sulphide have hydrogen bonding or not?

No.
