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.
What else can I help you with?
Is C3H7OH soluble in water?
Yes, C3H7OH, which is also known as isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol, is soluble in water. This is because it forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, allowing it to dissolve in water.
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 rubbing alcohol and water homogeneous or a heterogeneous mixture?
Alcohol and water form a homogeneous mixture.
Why would an object float in water but sink in rubbing alcohol?
An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water. Rubbing alcohol has a lower density than water, so an object that sinks in rubbing alcohol likely has a higher density than the rubbing alcohol. This difference in density causes the object to sink in rubbing alcohol but float in water.
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
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.
What happens if you mix sugar and 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. *
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.
Is C3H7OH soluble in water?
Yes, C3H7OH, which is also known as isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol, is soluble in water. This is because it forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, allowing it to dissolve in water.

Is rubbing alcohol and water homogeneous or a heterogeneous mixture?
Alcohol and water form a homogeneous mixture.
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, rubbing alcohol does not make water disappear when they mix. Instead, rubbing alcohol and water form a uniform solution where the molecules of both substances are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
What is inside rubbing alcohol?
Rubbing alcohol contain water, methanol or isopropyl alcohol, a dye.
Why would an object float in water but sink in rubbing alcohol?
An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water. Rubbing alcohol has a lower density than water, so an object that sinks in rubbing alcohol likely has a higher density than the rubbing alcohol. This difference in density causes the object to sink in rubbing alcohol but float in water.
Will objects float better in rubbing alcohol or water?
Objects will float better in rubbing alcohol than in water because rubbing alcohol has a lower density than water. This means that objects will displace less liquid in rubbing alcohol, making it easier for them to float.
Is clindamycin more soluble is water or alcohol?
Clindamycin HCl is very water soluble, while only slightly soluble in alcohol.
