Glycerol (propane-1,2,3-triol) is a viscous syrup with molecular weight 92 g/mol
Chapter 0, Problem 14-50(choose chapter or problem)
Glycerol (propane-1,2,3-triol) is a viscous syrup with molecular weight 92 g/mol, boiling point 290 C, and density 1.24 g/mL. Transforming the three hydroxyl groups into their trimethylsilyl ethers (using chlorotrimethylsilane and a tertiary amine) produces a liquid that flows easily, has molecular weight 309 g/mol, boiling point approximately 180 C, and density 0.88 g/mL. Draw the structures of these two compounds and explain why glycerol has a lower molecular weight but a much higher boiling point and density
