Diatomic Iodine is non-polar, so the reaction will likely be a solution

∙ 11y agoWhen ethanol reacts with iodine, it forms a yellow-brown solution due to the formation of iodoethane and hydrogen iodide. The reaction is a substitution reaction where iodine replaces a hydrogen atom in ethanol.
A mixture of iodine and ethanol is considered heterogeneous because iodine does not dissolve in ethanol and will remain visibly separate as a solid in the liquid ethanol.
The mixture of iodine and ethanol is a heterogeneous mixture because the iodine does not dissolve completely in the ethanol, resulting in visible differences between the two substances.
One way to separate iodine from ethanol is through a process called distillation. By heating the mixture, the ethanol will vaporize and can be collected separately from the solid iodine left behind. Another method is to add a solvent, such as water, which can dissolve the iodine, allowing for separation from the ethanol.
The solute would be iodine, and the solvent would be tincture
The reaction of ethanol with NaOH and iodine will yield iodoethane (ethyl iodide) as the product. The alcohol group in ethanol will be replaced by the iodine atom in the presence of NaOH.

In tincture of iodine, iodine is the solute and alcohol (usually ethanol) is the solvent. Ethanol dissolves the iodine to create the tincture solution.

The reaction between ethanol and iodine does not result in a simple chemical reaction. Ethanol may act as a solvent in which iodine can dissolve, forming a solution. This solution may have a brown or reddish-brown color due to the interaction between iodine and ethanol.
Tincture of iodine: a mixture of elemental iodine and sodium iodide solved in ethanol and water.
Iodine is dissolved in ethanol at any temperature.
Iodine is much more soluble in ethanol than in water, so it will usually form a homogeneous mixture. Of course, if you add more solid iodine than will dissolve in your quantity of ethanol at the temperature at which you are working, the excess solid will sink to the bottom. In that case, you have a heterogeneous mixture.
The solvent of tincture of iodine is typically ethanol, which helps dissolve the iodine and make it easier to apply to the skin. Ethanol also helps the iodine evaporate quickly, leaving behind a thin layer that can penetrate the skin.
