Tutorial-Prediction of Physical Properties (Solutions)

This document provides a tutorial on predicting various physical properties of chemicals using data provided in an appendix. It includes 24 questions related to predicting properties like viscosity, density, heat of vaporization, critical constants, and more for chemicals like water, ethane, benzene, butane, propane, and others using data on molecular weight, normal boiling point, critical properties, liquid density, heat of vaporization, and more. The goal is to teach students how to use reference data to calculate various physical properties of interest.
