A teacher challenged their students to a viscosity race as an end of the year chemistry event. Each student brought in a substance from home and poured it on an inclined plane. The different substances traveled down the plane, and the LAST substance to drip on the ground won the race, proving it to be the most viscous substance in the race. The winner was the student that brought in maple syrup from home. What statements support the phenomenon observed here? Select ALL that apply.
Responses
A The mass of the syrup was greater than the other substances.The mass of the syrup was greater than the other substances.
B The cohesive properties between sugar molecules in the syrup slowed its travel down the incline.The cohesive properties between sugar molecules in the syrup slowed its travel down the incline.
C The chemical properties of the syrup make it closer to a solid at room temperature than a liquid.The chemical properties of the syrup make it closer to a solid at room temperature than a liquid.
D The reduced speed of the syrup is caused by the breaking and reforming of ionic bonds as it travels down the plane.The reduced speed of the syrup is caused by the breaking and reforming of ionic bonds as it travels down the plane.
E The adhesive attraction between the sugar molecules in the syrup and the surface of the incline slows the travel of the syrup.
