Alkanes & Crude Oil quiz Loading... 1. What is a general formula?A series of compounds with similar chemical properties and a trend in physical propertiesA formula to determine the structure of a general series, i.e it shows which isomers are part of the general series and which aren\'tA formula to show the relative quantity of different types of atom for a molecules in a homologous series.

State the general formula of alkanesCₙH₂ₙCₙH₂ₙ₊₂ CₙHₙ₊₁C₂ₙH₂ₙ₊₂ Question 8 of 22 Loading... 9. What is meant by the term viscosity?The viscosity of a fluid is how easily it evaporates. Refinery gases evaporate easily, they have low viscositiesThe viscosity of a fluid is how easily it evaporates. Refinery gases evaporate easily, they have high viscositiesThe viscosity of a fluid describes how easily it flows. Water has a low viscosity, it flows very easily. Crude oil has a higher viscosity than water, it does not flow very easily.The viscosity of a fluid describes how easily it flows. Water has a high viscosity, it flows very easily. Crude oil has a lower viscosity than water, it does not flow very easily.Question 9 of 22 Loading... 10.
