Question

Why glycerol has higher boiling point than n-propane?

Answer 1

Answer:

Stronger the intermolecular force, the more is the viscosity of the liquid. ... Hence, both glycerol and water can form strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds, but glycerol can form more hydrogen bonds per molecule than water. The higher extent of hydrogen bonding in glycerol thus makes glycerol more viscous than water.
