yes because ethanol and water are both soluble with each other, both the ethanol and the water are molecular substances with O−H bonds, the attractions broken between water molecules and the attractions broken between ethanol molecules are hydrogen bonds. The attractions that form between the ethanol and water molecules are also hydrogen bonds.

∙ 7y agoMethanol - which is a carbon with 3 hydrogens and one OH group attached - is quite polar. Since water is also polar they tend to mix quite nicely. Through Hydrogen Bonds, the partial positive charge of the hydrogen in the OH group of the methanol is attracted to the partial negative charge of oxygen in water. Also, inversely the hydrogen in water is attracted to the oxygen in the OH group of the methanol. A dipole-dipole bond is also formed between the two substances due to the difference in charges. They therefore have an affinity for one another, and to be separated (as an example through fractional or simple distillation) the dipole dipole bonds and hydrogen bonds would need to be broken.

Why does CH3OH not dissolve or mix with water?
CH3OH is the chemical formula for methanol. Methanol is miscible with water in ALL proportions. It DOES dissolve or mix with water.
Are water and methyl alcohol miscible or immiscible?
Alcohols are a family of organic compounds characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH). There are many different alcohols, and some are miscible in water while others are not. Low molecular weight alcohols having one carbon (methanol), two carbons (ethanol), and three carbons (n-propanol and isopropanol) are miscible in water, as is tert-butanol. Less branched butanols and alcohols having five or more carbons behave more like hydrocarbons and are immiscible in water.
Is it possible to make saturated solution of water and alcohol?
It is impossible to make a saturated solution of ethanol or methanol and water because ethanol and methanol are completely miscible in all proportions. Some other alcohols may be less miscible and, if so, they could make a saturated solution. I will leave the question open with regards to ALL ALCOHOLS.
Examples of miscible liquids?
Two miscible liquids are: Alcohol and water.Sorry if this isn't what you wanted.
Why ethanol and water are miscible?
They are polar molecules and can form Hydrogen bond among each other. For Alcohol, miscibility is lowered at higher chain. Moving from Methanol -> Ethanol -> Propanol is miscible but Butanol can dissolve at only 11%
Is methanol soluble with water cyclohexane and alcohol?
Yes, methanol miscible.
Why does CH3OH not dissolve or mix with water?
CH3OH is the chemical formula for methanol. Methanol is miscible with water in ALL proportions. It DOES dissolve or mix with water.
Are water and ethanol miscible?
Methanol is miscible in water but Ethyl Acetate is immiscible in water. -- The above answer is correct if asking if each solvent is miscible in water. If you are asking if they are miscible together then the answer is yes, they will mix.
What are examples of cosolvants?
The best examples for Cosolvents are Methanol & Ethanol.Infact ,Methanol is not miscible with N-Hexane ,but if you add some amount of ethanol methanol and N-hexane will be completely miscible.

Would Solutions of water and methanol makes hazy liquid?
Water and methanol are completely miscible (they will dissolve into each other in any proportion). A mixture of water and methanol will always form a clear solution (after sufficient mixing) unless there are impurities in either to start off with.

Can CH2OH be miscible in water yet contain carbon?
There is no such compound as CH2OH. The compounds CH2O (formaldehyde) and CH3OH (methanol) do exist. Both contain carbon and are miscible in water for largely the same reason. Formaldehyde contains a highly polar C-O double bond while methanol contains both a polar C-O bond and a polar O-H bond. Polar bonds tend to make molecules water soluble.
Is oil miscible?
Oil is not miscible with water.
