Related to biodiesel synthesis. In regards to biodiesel purification and liquid-liquid extraction. Please answer these questions.

Background info. Measuring viscosity: Samples are Ethanol, Methanol, Vegetable oil, Commercial biodiesel pure sample, Glycerol pure sample, and glycerol layer from the reaction.
Data: The times elapsed from measurements of viscosity; Ethanol (6.22 sec), Methanol (2.09 sec), Glycerol (over 8 min), vegetable oil (49.60 sec), commercial biodiesel (4.16 sec), and Glycerol layer from reaction (2.28 sec).

Did the viscosity of pure samples match that of your synthesized biodiesel layers? Comment on what this means for the success of your purification method

Why was it important to do a good job on your liquid-liquid extraction of biodiesel (the fuel for a car engine) considering glycerol is a by-product of the synthesis?

The boiling point of propanoic acid is higher than that of 1-butanol because: propanoic acid has a higher molecular weight than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is more soluble in water than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is a better hydrogen bond donor than 1-butanol. propanoic acid forms hydrogen bonded dimers and 1-butanol does not. 1-butanol forms hydrogen bonded dimers and propanoic acid does not.
