It is impossible to make a saturated solution of ethanol or methanol and water because ethanol and methanol are completely miscible in all proportions. Some other alcohols may be less miscible and, if so, they could make a saturated solution. I will leave the question open with regards to ALL ALCOHOLS.

What type of solution can be formed when water and alcohol dissolve each other?

no we cannot get saturated solution of alcohol and water


Why is it not possible to make a saturated solution of alcohol in water?

This is because the two substances are miscible, therefore once you get to a 50:50 mix the percentage of one must fall. The water then becomes a solute in the solvent alcohol in the case of your question.


How does adding water to a saturated solution make it all dissolve?

When you add water to the saturated solution, there is more solvent to dissolve the solute. The saturated solution becomes diluted, so it is no longer saturated.


What term is given to such liquid if alcohol and water mixed?

Mixture or solution are possible names


Would more water fix a saturated solution?

I do not understand your question; however, I can say that if you add water to a saturated solution, it isn't saturated, anymore.


Why can't you add water to a saturated solution?

Adding water to a saturated solution will dilute the concentration of the solute, causing some of it to come out of solution. The solution will no longer be saturated because the solute can no longer all remain dissolved in the water.

What if your teacher gives you a solution of salt in water. How can you fi nd out if it is a saturated solution?

You can determine if the solution is saturated by adding a small amount of salt to the solution. If the salt dissolves, the solution is unsaturated. If the added salt does not dissolve and collects at the bottom of the container, the solution is saturated.


Can a saturated solution be a dilute solution?

Yes, just remove some of the solvent. If you want to see this for yourself, mix a little salt and water together. Then leave it stand so most of the water evaporates. You have saturated a dilute solution.
