Answer:

The hydroxyl groups in alcohol molecules are responsible for hydrogen bonding between the alcohol molecules. As greater energy is required to overcome these strong intermolecular forces, the melting points and boiling points of alcohols are higher than those of alkanes with a corresponding chain length

the number of hydroxyl groups increases is caused by a greater degree of hydrogen bonding between the molecules.

I hope this helps

Of the three types of oxygen flowmeters, which one can only be used upright?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Given the choices;
a) Bourdon gauge flowmeter
b) Hudson gauge flow meter
c) Constant flow selector
d) pressure compensated flowmeter.
The one that can only be used upright is the pressure-compensated flowmeter. Compensated flowmeters work with a variable orifice and fixed pressure. They read back pressure, and take into account resistance changes down stream from the needle valve. If pressure exceeds 50psig downstream, flow ceases.
