Is ethanol and water miscible?
Yes it is. Because they are both not polar.
Why are liquid water and ethanol described as miscible?
Solubility (miscibility when concerning two liquids) depends on the solvent and the solute being able to interact with each other through similar intermolecular forces. Water and ethanol can both participate in hydrogen bonding and therefore they are miscible. Cyclohexane is do not have any polar atoms or bonds and therefore can only interact through London dispersion forces, which is incompatible with water since the small size and polar nature of water precludes it from participating in London dispersion force interactions. Cyclohexane will be miscible in other liquids that share its properties, such as octane.
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.
Why is ethanol miscible in water?
Water molecules have hydrogen bonds between them. Since they cannot form hydrogen bonds with the ethoxyethane molecules, the ethoxyethane molcules are not soluble in water.
Why is the dissolution of water in octane prevented?
Water and octane are practically non miscible.
What pairs of substances are miscible water and oxygen water and gasoline water and sodium chloride water and ethanol?
Water and ethanol are miscible.
What is miscible ethanol and water or water and oil?
Ethanol and water are miscible. Think of alcoholic drinks, the alcohol and water do not form separate layers.
Is ethanol and water can mix together?
yes. ethanol and water are soluble / miscible
Why is liquid water and ethanol described as miscible?
Because a mixture of ethanol and water in any proportions forms a single phase liquid at standard temperature and pressure. That is the meaning of "miscible".
Which two are miscible with one another oil water and ethanol?
Water and ethanol. Oil is immiscible with either of those.
Is cyclohexane soluble to ethyl alcohol?
yes, at STP, as the change in gibbs free energy is negaitve for all cases. however, the mixing does require heat input to stay isothermal, as heat is required to break the hydrogen bonding of ethanol by cyclohexane
Can excess extra neutral alcohol sediment in water?
Ethanol and water are miscible.
Is ethanol and water miscible?
Yes it is. Because they are both not polar.
Is ethyl alcohol miscible with water?
YES!!!! Ethyl alcohol is the alcohol; that humans drink in beers wines and spirits. It is miscible(mixed) with water and other substances to make alcoholic drinks. It modern IUPAC name is 'Ethanol' , and its formula is CH3CH2OH .
Examples of miscible liquids?
Two miscible liquids are: Alcohol and water.Sorry if this isn't what you wanted.

Why is it not possible to use ethanol to extract an organic compound from water?
Because ethanol and water are miscible solutions, that is that they can mix together or co-dissolve.
