Question

Why glycerine is more viscose than water

Answer 1

These three OH groups can bind to other hydroxyl groups, either inwater molecules – which makes glycerol very soluble in water – or by hydrogen-bonding with other glycerol molecules. Hydrogen-bonding creates an aggregation that means that glycerol does not flow as well as water, so neat glycerol is ratherviscous.

Answer 2

glycerine have three hydroxyl groups per molecule as compared to one in water due to which extent of hydrogen bonding is more
