(a) from ethanol to propanol to n-butanol the boiling points, surface tensions, and viscosities all increase. what is the reason for this increase? (b) how do you explain the fact that propanol and ethylene glycol have similar molecular weights (60 versus 62 amu), yet the viscosity of ethylene glycol is more than 10 times larger than propa- nol? (c) how do you explain the fact that water has the highest surface tension but the lowest viscosity?

Total solidification times of three casting geometries are to be compared: a sphere, a cylinder, in which the length-to-diameter ration - 1.0, and a cube. volume = 1000 cm^3 for all three shhapes, and the same casting alloy is used. a) determine the solidification times of each geometry b) based on the results of part (a), which geometric element would make the best riser? c) if the mold constant = 3.5 min/cm^2 in chvorinov's rule, compute the total solidification time for each casting.

Chemical energy is a form of energy. a. heat b. kinetic c. potential d. electromagnetic

Why does karst topography exist in some geographic location? a. few climates have enough oxygen b. most regions have rock layers other than limestone c. in most regions, the soil is too thin d. the water is too acidic enough in most places
