When 50 mL of ethanol is mixed with 50 mL of water a solution forms The volume of the final solution is less than 100 mL Propose an explanation for this phenomenon?

Because some of the molecules fit in between each other, filling in the gaps normally between molecules in these substances.


How many bonds are in water?

There are 2 bonds in water(H2O) but molecules of water will interact with each other through hydrogen bonding.


Why ethanol and water are miscible?

They are polar molecules and can form Hydrogen bond among each other. For Alcohol, miscibility is lowered at higher chain. Moving from Methanol -> Ethanol -> Propanol is miscible but Butanol can dissolve at only 11%


Why are water and alcohol soluble?

Water and alcohol (presumably the question is related to small alcohols such as ethanol) are both polar molecules. A common mnemonic is "like dissolves like". The hydroxyl (-OH, oxygen-hydrogen) groups are not symmetrical; they have greater electron density on one side of the group as compared with the other. This allows the molecules to interact with each other (not bond) in such a way that the region that is electron rich in one molecule is attracted to the region that is electron poor in another molecule. A molecule that is not polar, such as oil, is repelled by the polar molecule to they tend to not dissolve in each other.


Why ethanol have higher boiling point than propane?

Ethanol molecules have the ability to form Hydrogen bonds with each other ( H from one molecule with O of another). Propane cannot form hydrogen bonds. Thus one needs more energy to break these bonds in order to evaporate.

What is the relationship of chemistry to the other science?

Chemistry is the study of how atoms and molecules interact with each other. Therefore the essence of biological function is chemistry. The interaction of atoms and molecules obey the rules of physics

How do the side group of amino acids interact with each other and with other molecules?

Depending on what the side group(s) are, they can interact via hydrogen bonding, disulfide bond formation, dipole-dipole interactions, and dispersion forces.


How do living things interact with each others and with their environment?

How they interact is they don't interact individually.


How do countries interact with each other?

Countries interact with each other through diplomatic channels, such as embassies and consulates, as well as through international organizations like the United Nations. They engage in treaties, trade agreements, and alliances to establish formal relationships and address issues of mutual interest. Countries also interact through cultural exchanges, summits, and bilateral meetings between leaders to promote cooperation and resolve conflicts.

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.
