Different hydrocarbons for different jobs?
2) Lubricating oil used to make engines run smoothly. The oil reduces friction between moving parts. Which properties make it useful for this job? Explain why?
Answer:
Basically lubricants reduce friction because they do not have significant attraction to the metal parts and they roll over each other. This is somewhat oversimplified because there are books written on this. Typical motor oils contain all sorts of additives to reduce friction further, inhibit corrosion, and preserve the oil itself.
