The Society of Automotive Engineers has established an accepted numerical scale to measure the viscosity of motor oil. For examp

le, SAE 40 motor oil has a higher viscosity than an SAE 10 oil. Rank the following hydrocarbons by their expected viscosity. Rank from most to least viscous. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
a. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 b. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 c. CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3

Answer:

Most viscous to least viscous: (c)> (b)> (a)

Explanation:

For hydrocarbons, viscosity increases with increasing molar mass. Because increasing molar mass signifies increase in number of electrons in molecules.

We know that in non-polar hydrocarbons, only van der waal intermolecular force exists. Van der waal force is proportional to number of electrons in a molecule.

Therefore with increasing molar mass, van der waal force increases. hence molecules gets more tightly bind with each other resulting increase in viscosity.

Here molar mass order : (c)> (b)> (a)

Therefore viscosity order : (c)> (b)> (a)

What do the parentheses mean in a chemical reaction and how they are used
galben [10]

Parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a chemical reaction, sometimes, a compound may be composed of group of polyatomic ions with other ions. Some of the polyatomic ions are sulfate, carbonate, nitrate, hydroxide, bicarbonate, ammonia etc.

So these polyatomic ions are formed by combining two or more elements. Thus, if the number of polyatomic ions in a compound is more than one, then we use parathesis and write those polyatomic ions in it and write the number of polyatomic ions present in the compound as subscript of the parathesis.

For example, Fe₂(SO₄)₃

So here SO₄ is a polyatomic ion and in the compound 3 atoms of SO₄ is required to neutralize the compound and thus paranthesis is used. Thus, parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.
