Answer: Out of the given options $HOCH_{2}OH$ is expected to have the highest viscosity.

Explanation:

The resistance occurred in the flow of a liquid substance is called viscosity.

More stronger is the intermolecular forces present in a substance more will be its resistance in its flow. Hence, more will be its viscosity.

For example, $HOCH_{2}OH$ has strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding than the one's present in $CH_{3}CH_{2}OH$ and $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ . This is because two-OH groups are present over here.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options $HOCH_{2}OH$ is expected to have the highest viscosity.

One problem with elimination reactions is that mixtures of products are often formed. For example, treatment of 2-bromo-2-methyl

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Structures are given below.

Explanation:

Treatment of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane with KOH in ethanol will give elimination of HBr through E2 mechanism.
H atoms adjacent to Br will be eliminated.
2-bromo-2-methylbutane has two possible adjacent H atoms that can be eliminated giving mixture of products.
Product of this elimination reaction is alkene. Here saytzeff fule is followed during elimination. So most substituted alkene will be major product.
Structure of alkenes are given below.

What’s a giant hunk of rock and metal

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: “We live on a hunk of rock and metal that circles a humdrum star that is one of 400 billion other stars that make up the Milky Way Galaxy which is one of billions of other galaxies which make up a universe which may be one of a very large number, perhaps an infinite number, of other universes. That is a perspective on human life and our culture that is well worth pondering.”
