Ethanol is less viscous than ethylene glycol at the same temperature. This is because ethanol only has one -OH group, which is responsible for viscosity.
1000g of water has a greater volume than 1000g of denatured ethanol because water is denser than ethanol. This means that water occupies less space per gram compared to ethanol.
Thermal Energy.
The infrared stretching frequency (IMF) of the O-H bond is the strongest in ethylene glycol. This is due to the greater electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen, leading to a strong dipole moment and hydrogen bonding interactions.
Octane has higher viscosity compared to methane. This is because octane is a larger molecule with more molecular interactions, leading to greater resistance to flow than methane, which is a smaller molecule with weaker intermolecular forces.
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.
Viscosity of EthanolThe dynamic viscosity of ethanol varies with temperature (and pressure). At 25 degrees Celsius (and one atmosphere), it is 1.074 cP (1.074 mPa-s). Compare that to water's viscosity: 0.894 cP. At 20 degrees Celsius, the viscosity of ethanol increases to 1.20 cP.For further comparison, here are some other familiar liquids with lesser and greater viscosity.Corn syrup: 1381 cPMotor oil (SAE 40): 319 cPOlive oil: 81 cPEthylene glycol (antifreeze): 16.1 cPMercury: 1.526 cPMethanol: 0.544 cPAcetone: .306 cPcP (centipoise) = mPa-s (millipascal-second).
If something has a greater viscosity, it becomes more 'runny' compared to its original state when heated up. The greater the change from thick to runny = the greater the viscosity. So honey has a greater viscosity than water for example.
Ethylene Glycol is about 11% more dense than pure water at the same temperature.
By definition, to overcome viscosity we need to apply enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction of a substance. The harder it is to overcome this, the more viscous the substance is. And we all know that hydrogen bonds are the toughest intermolecular bonds to break. This being said if we look at the ethanol molecule it has one hydrogen bond to ether's none. Therefore, more kinetic energy would be required to overcome the attractions by that bond thus increasing the average kinetic energy needed by the substance to overcome or reduce its viscosity.
Viscosity is determined by the internal friction between the molecules of a liquid. Factors such as molecular size and shape, intermolecular forces, and temperature influence viscosity. Liquids with larger and more complex molecules, stronger intermolecular forces, and lower temperatures tend to have greater viscosity because the molecules have a harder time sliding past one another.
Viscosity tends to increase as temperature drops in most liquids because the kinetic energy of the molecules reduces. This allows the intermolecular forces to get molecules attracted giving the fluid more resistance to flow. Interesting though, in gases at low pressure viscosity increases with T1/2, where T is the thermodynamic temperature.
Honey would have greater viscosity compared to water. Viscosity refers to a fluid's resistance to flow, and honey is thicker and more resistant to flow than water.
1000g of water has a greater volume than 1000g of denatured ethanol because water is denser than ethanol. This means that water occupies less space per gram compared to ethanol.

The more thick the substance is, the higher the viscosity.
Motor oil typically has greater viscosity than olive oil. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, and motor oil is designed to have a higher viscosity in order to protect the engine's moving parts at high temperatures and speeds.
The 1000 grammes of ethanol will occupy a greater volume because its specific gravity is lower than that of water. s.g. water = ~1.0 s.g. ethanol = ~ 0.794
