First and last sentence .♀️
Explanation:
An important thing to keep in mind about the Reading Comprehension section of the GRE as we use PowerPrep online to study is that it is just that—reading comprehension. In other words, as difficult as it may seem, and it can be pretty tricky, the test makers will always give us all the information we need in the passage to answer the question.
Answer is: glycerol because it is more viscous and has a larger molar mass.
Viscosity depends on intermolecular interactions.
The predominant intermolecular force in water and glycerol is hydrogen bonding.
Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups in which one group has hydrogen atom (H) and another group has highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (like in this molecule), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F).
According to Arrhenius theory of acid and base, Acids are those substances which when dissolved in water produces protons, while, Bases are those substances which when dissolved in water produces Hydroxyl Ions.
Example of Arrhenius Bases:
NaOH ₍s₎ → Na⁺ ₍aq₎ + ⁻OH ₍aq₎
LiOH ₍s₎ → Li⁺ ₍aq₎ + ⁻OH ₍aq₎
Result:
The only negative ion produced in water when Arrhenius Base is dissolved is ⁻OH (Hydroxyl Ion).
