in glycerol, every molecules are associated together with strong Hydrogen bond which is due to the OH functional group, this H-bond is absent in hexane.Hence it is so, which means more energy is required to break the bond b/w each molecule to release it as vapours

Which has the highest boiling point hexane or pentane?

Octane. The boiling point of straight-chain alkanes increases within its homologous series (meaning methane has a lower boiling point than ethane, which is lower than propane, etc). Hexane : Boiling Point 69 o C Octane : Boiling Point 125.5 o C


Which liquid has a higher surface tension glycerol or hexane?

Glycerol has a higher surface tension compared to hexane. This is because glycerol is more polar than hexane, leading to stronger intermolecular forces between glycerol molecules which results in a higher surface tension.


Why glycerol decomposes at its boiling point?

Glycerol decomposes at its boiling point due to thermal decomposition, where high temperatures cause the glycerol molecules to break apart into smaller compounds like acrolein and water. This process results in the degradation of glycerol with the release of gases and can lead to discoloration and alteration of its physical properties.

What is the IUPAC name for glycerol and what are its chemical properties?

The IUPAC name for glycerol is propane-1,2,3-triol. Glycerol is a colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting liquid. It is a trihydric alcohol, meaning it has three hydroxyl groups. Glycerol is highly soluble in water and is commonly used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. It has a high boiling point and is non-toxic.
