Ethanol and acetone are common solvents. Co-solvents can include propylene glycol and glycerin to fully dissolve.

Is methylbenzene miscible in water?

Methylbenzene, aka toluene, is not miscible in water. It is miscible in organic solvents such as hexane and acetone.


Why were lipids miscible in some solvents but not in others?

What is the reason why diesel is not miscible in water density or polarity?

Diesel is not miscible in water beause the 2 liquids are too different in structure. Water is very polar in comparison to Deisel which is made up of saturated hydrocarbons ranging from C10 - C25 approximately.Non-polar solvents are miscible with other non-polar solvents. Polar solvents are miscible with polar solvents. Another thing to remember is that the strength of polarity is important too. If 2 solvents are polar, they many not be miscible if the strength of their polarity is too different.Remember, like disolves like. The same goes for miscibility...


Are Paint and water miscible or miscible?

yes, most paints are solvents!


What factor determines if two liquids will be miscible or immiscible?

Molecules that do not dissolve in other molecules that are similar. If the molecules are not similar, they will not mix. Therefore, you have an immiscible liquid. Polar solvents will only dissolve polar compounds. (e.g. NaCl in H2O soln) Nonpolar solvents will only dissolve nonpolar compunds. (e.g Vitamin A in an oil) However, certain solvents are miscible with both polar and nonpolar solvents. An example of this would be ethanol (CH3CH2OH), which is miscible with water(polar) and hexane(nonpolar).

Why were the lipids miscible in some solvents but not in others?

Lipids are miscible in nonpolar solvents because they have a nonpolar nature due to their hydrophobic tails. The nonpolar solvents can dissolve and interact with the nonpolar lipid molecules. On the other hand, lipids are not miscible in polar solvents as there is a mismatch in polarity, making it difficult for the polar solvent to dissolve the nonpolar lipid molecules.


Is chloroform miscible with carbon tetrachloride?

Yes, chloroform is miscible with carbon tetrachloride. Both are halogenated solvents with similar chemical properties, allowing them to mix together in all proportions.

Is acetone and hexane miscible?

Yes, acetone and hexane are miscible with each other because they are both nonpolar solvents. This means they can mix together in any proportion and form a homogeneous solution.


What solvents are soluble in ethyl iodide?

Ethyl iodide is miscible with ethanol.


Is chloroform miscible with petroleum ether?

Chloroform is miscible with petroleum ether, meaning they can mix in all proportions to form a homogenous solution. This is because both chloroform and petroleum ether are non-polar solvents.


Is chloroform miscible with octane?

Yes they are mixing. but they are not reacting.

Are acetone and ethanol miscible?

No, they are miscible. Acetone dissolves both polar compounds and nonpolar comounds well. That's why acetone is used to wash chemicals off.
