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 ink a miscible liquid?
Miscible in/with what? I am going to assume in water. Then, yes, they are 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 CCl4 a immiscible or miscible?
Carbon tetrachloride is not miscible with water but miscible with many other liquid organic compounds.
Is chloroform miscible with water?
no
Is oil miscible?
Oil is not miscible with water.
Is methylbenzene miscible in water?
Methylbenzene, aka toluene, is not miscible in water. It is miscible in organic solvents such as hexane and acetone.
Is ink a miscible liquid?
Miscible in/with what? I am going to assume in water. Then, yes, they are miscible.
Why actone used as drying agent?
Acetone is considered a drying agent, or desiccant, because of its miscibility in water and volatility. Being miscible in water means that it is soluble (forms a homogeneous mixture) in all proportions. It's high vapor pressure causes it to be volatile, meaning that it evaporates readily in a relatively low-pressure environment.
Why alcohals are miscible with water?
Alcohals are miscible in water and we cannot see anything after stirring it
What pairs of substances are miscible water and oxygen water and gasoline water and sodium chloride water and ethanol?
Water and ethanol are miscible.
Are milk and cream miscible?
Milk is miscible in other milk products but it is not miscible in water--otherwise you wouldn't see it, or detect it, optically in water.
Is water miscible in water?
Yes.
Example of miscible?
oil and water are immiscible water and alcohol are miscible
When water is mixed with rubbing alcohol the two liquids completely dissolve. Are the two liquids miscible or are they immiscible?
Water and rubbing alcohol are totally 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.
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.
