Just like with any other substance that's water soluble, the weak molecular bonding that takes place in the water (surface tension, put simply) is low enough that the alcohol molecules aren't displaced by the water.
The opposite is true for something like cooking oil. Water bonds to itself well enough to push the oil out.

∙ 14y agoyes, alcohol is soluble in water (according to a science textbook)
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, it will dissolve, because Alcohol is miscible in water (it will dissolve in water in any proportions)
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoWater is a polar solvent, and alcohol includes a polar component in its molecular structure.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agomaybe. i am looking for the same thing. I am ot sure.

What happens if you mix sugar and rubbing alcohol?
If there is enough liquid, the sugar will dissolve, as rubbing alcohol is a mixture of water (about 30%) with an alcohol. Sugar is soluble in both liquids. * BTW, rubbing alcohol is poisonous. *
Is Glutamine water soluble?
No it is not soluble in water it is soluble in chloroform, alcohol, methnol
How to get ink off of plastic?
Try a paper towel moistened with rubbing alcohol; many inks are soluble in alcohol.
Why will it happen if you put colored water on a piece foil and then added a drop of rubbing alcohol?
As soon as you add the drop of rubbing alcohol the colored water will quickly move away from the rubbing alcohol,but will leave a really thin layer of colored water where you added the drop of rubbing alcohol
What are the contents of the rubbing alcohol?
Methanol (and water).
Is sand soluble in alcohol?
Rubbing alcohol will not completely dissolve sand, only partially. It is slightly soluble due to rubbing alcohol containing some water.

Does salt dissolve faster in water or alcohol?
Salt (sodium chloride) is not soluble in alcohol, but is soluble in water. Nearly all "rubbing alcohol" contains some water, and so will slightly dissolve salt.

Can you mix sodium chloride with rubbing alcohol?
I know for a fact that you can mix rubbing alcohol and water, as most rubbing alcohol is a water and isopropyl alcohol solution, but when you mix vinegar and backing soda a gas is produced, so it probably wouldn't mix that well.
What is the adhesive difference between rubbing alcohol and water?
Water contains no alcohol or oils, as rubbing alcohol does.
When rubbing alcohol and water mix does rubbing alcohol make water disappear?
No, it is just a diluted mixutre of alcohol.
Does water or rubbing alcohol dissolve the fastest?
Rubbing alcohol evaporates faster than Pepsi.
Is Glutamine water soluble?
No it is not soluble in water it is soluble in chloroform, alcohol, methnol
What is inside rubbing alcohol?
Rubbing alcohol contain water, methanol or isopropyl alcohol, a dye.
Why does 1 cup water 1 cup rubbing alcohol equal less than 2 cups?
Because water and rubbing alcohol are mutually soluble. Liquids have quite a bit of empty space between the molecules. When something is soluble, its molecules will fit in the spaces between the molecules of the liquid. So water molecules fit in beween alcohol molecules, alcohol molecules fit in between water molecules, and the mixture takes up less room than the 2 separate liquids.
