20
Q

What is viscosity?

A

A fluid’s resistance to flow.

21
Q

Why does the word ‘organic’ mean?

A

Of or designating carbon compounds.

22
Q

Are the fractions collected in the crude oil experiment pure? explain

A

Yes, because pure substances have fixed boiling points.

23
Q

Why is not necessary to put the collecting test tube into water?

A

Because it is already condensed, fraction is already a liquid, cold water is needed in the Liebeg condenser
