From what I have been able to figure out, the primary forces of attraction between both water and alcohol molecules is the hydrogen bond, which is largely responsible in each for the high boiling point. Each have London dipole-dipole reactions that are also involved. Perhaps of their similarities, alcohol and water mix well.

∙ 12y agoA water molecule is always a water molecule. Therefore, in every state; solid, liquid, or gas. The molecules still have a central atom of oxygen, with 2 hydrogen atoms attached with a single bond and two lone pairs of electrons above the oxygen molecule. Furthermore, the molecular geometry of each water molecule is still the same in every state. the shape is V-shape/bent. Not only are the structures the same, but the density is still the same except when water is a solid form. The solid form of water is commonly known as ice and the density of ice is slightly lower than H20's density of 1. This is why in the arctic icebergs have the ability to float above the surface.

What happens when sugar dissolve in water?
Sugar becomes what is know as aqueous( dissolved in solution with the water) this is the process of water molecules breaking and surrounding ions in he sugar so for each sugar molecule several water molecules will be bonded to it thus why if you put enough sugar into water it cant dissolve all of it as there are not enough water molecules to surround the sugar.
Why did the number of the water molecules on each side of the membrane change where as the number of sugar molecules stayed the same?
The membrane is permeable to water but not to sugar.
Is sugar dissolves in water?
A homogeneous mixture
Why does sugar desappear when put it in water?
It doesn't really disappear, it dissociates. Water is a solvent, and causes tons of stuff to separate, including sugar. Table sugar is not a single molecule (ie. glucose), but instead is a combination of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (C12H22O11), and simply put, those pieces come apart in water giving the appearance of disappearing. (But they are actually only changing forms.)
What is phase of sugar in sugar water solutions. is it solid or liquid phase?
In solution, the sugar is no longer in a state of solidity or fluidity. once dissolved, it is divided into charged particles or smaller mollecules, which are attracted to either the positive or negative poles of the water molecules. The sugar molecules are therefore aqueous, not solid, liquid or gas.
Why sugar dissolved into water?
Sugar and water both are ionic compounds. Due to this sugar dissolve into water further sugar molecules breaks into small molecules in presence of water molecules.
What happens to the molecules of a solid such as a sugar cube when it dissolves water?
The sugar molecules dissipate throughout the water - mixing with the water molecules.
Is sugar water mixture compound or solution?
Sugar water is a solution because the sugar molecules do not chemically bond to the water molecules.
When water and sugar are mixed together thoroughly the water molecules and sugar molecules will?
Change phaze
What happens when sucrose dissolves in 200ml of water?
you just said it === it dissolves. The molecules of sugar are attracted by the water molecules and are separated from other sugar molecules, but they are still sugar molecules.
What happens when granulated sugar touches water?
When granulated sugar and water come in contact, the water molecules surround the individual sugar molecules, and the sugar molecules go into solution. You end up with an aqueous solution of sugar.
Why do large groups of sugar molecules break apart in water?
when sugar dissolves in water the sugar molecules are more attracted-to the water than each other.the molecules-break apart from each other and water molecules surround them.
Is sugar water a compound a mixture or a solution?
It's a solution, since the sugar is dissolved in water.
What happens sugar is added to water?
The sugar will dissolve in water because sugar is polar and so is water with hydrogen bonds. When attraction happens, the water molecules will separate the sugar molecules and the sugar will be dissolved.
Why isn't sugar infinitely soluble in water?
There is only so much space between water molecules for sugar molecules to fit.
What happens when sugar dissolve in water?
Sugar becomes what is know as aqueous( dissolved in solution with the water) this is the process of water molecules breaking and surrounding ions in he sugar so for each sugar molecule several water molecules will be bonded to it thus why if you put enough sugar into water it cant dissolve all of it as there are not enough water molecules to surround the sugar.
What happens to the paricles of sugar when a sugarcube is dissolved in water?
the sugar particles turn into ions which attach to the polar molecules of water Each sugar molecule does not become an ion. Each sugar molecule is charge neutral and thus has no charge. When sugar is dissolved in water, the water pulls the sugar molecules apart from each other and the individual sugar molecules no longer touch each other. Each sugar molecule is surrounded by water. The forces between molecules are responsible for this. The polar shape of water molecules is what governs the separation.
