Which straight chain alkane below would you predict to be the most viscous? Why? All are liquids exhibiting the general bonding pattern CH3-(CH2)n-CH3

C9H20

C10H22

C5H12

C6H14

C12H26

Answer:

C12H26

Explanation:

Generally, the viscosity of a liquid increases with increase in molecular mass of the substance.

Liquids of high molecular mass do not flow easily. This means that they posses high viscosity.

Thus, since C12H26 has the highest molecular mass among the options given in the question, C12H26 exhibits the greatest viscosity.
