Regarding intermolecular forces, acetone has the chemical formula C3H60, through Hydrogen Bonds, the partial positive charge of Hydrogen in acetone is attracted to the partial negative charge of Oxygen in water. Also, inversely the Hydrogen in water is attracted to the Oxygen in Acetone. A dipole-dipole bond is also formed between the two substances due to the difference in charges. They there fore 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.

∙ 10y agoAcetone is dimethyl ketone. It has two methyl groups (-CH3) attached to a central carbonyl group (-C=O). The methyl groups are nonpolar, allowing it to be miscible with other nonpolar substances (such as oils). The carbonyl group is polar (due to the dipole moment exerted by the oxygen atom on the carbon), allowing it to be miscible in other polar substances (such as water).

Can acetone form hydrogen bond with water?
Yes it can, and this is the reason for alcohol having a higher boiling point than both alkanes and ethers.
If two solutions are mixed together and they form layers they are said to be?
Cool Aid Mix and water. Water and Oil. Vinger and Water.
Is ethanol miscible with water?
Very much so, yes. This is why beer, which is typically five to ten percent alcohol and the rest water, presents as a uniform liquid rather than a layer of alcohol floating on top of a mass of water.
Is kerosene miscible with carbon tetrachloride?
Yes. kerosene is miscible in CCl4.
Does bromine dissolve in water?
Being miscible means that it can form a homogeneous solution when added with another liquid. Bromoform is immiscible with water. It is however, miscible with the chemical cyclohexane.
Is acetone a water soluble liquid?
Acetone and water are miscible liquids.
Is methylbenzene miscible in water?
Methylbenzene, aka toluene, is not miscible in water. It is miscible in organic solvents such as hexane and acetone.
Acetone and oil miscible or immiscible?
miscible
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.
Why does acetone dissolve in water?
Acetone will float in water because it has a lower density than water. A few other liquids which will float on water are: ethanol, ether, methylated spirits and olive oil. Some that will sink in water are: chloroform and mercury.
Examples of miscible liquids?
Two miscible liquids are: Alcohol and water.Sorry if this isn't what you wanted.
Why is actone miscible in water?
The general rule is that "like dissolves like." Both water and acetone are polar molecules, which means that they both have perminant electric dipole moments caused by the electronegatively difference between oxygen and hydrogen atoms. So, acetone is miscible in water because of dipole-dipole interactions between the hydroxyl groups both compounds. This specific kind of dipole-dipole interaction: hydrogen bonding.
Is oil miscible?
Oil is not miscible with water.
Is ink a miscible liquid?
Miscible in/with what? I am going to assume in water. Then, yes, they are miscible.
Example of liquid in liquid solution?
All the miscible liquids may form the solutions as 1-Alcohol in water, 2-Hexane in benzene, 3-acetone in ethyl acetate etc.
Why alcohals are miscible with water?
Alcohals are miscible in water and we cannot see anything after stirring it
Can acetone form hydrogen bond with water?
Yes it can, and this is the reason for alcohol having a higher boiling point than both alkanes and ethers.
