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.
What else can I help you with?
Is dichloromethane miscible in water?
Yes, dichloromethane is miscible in water, meaning it can mix and dissolve in water.
Which two are miscible with one another oil water and ethanol?
Water and ethanol. Oil is immiscible with either of those.
What pairs of substances are miscible water and oxygen water and gasoline water and sodium chloride water and ethanol?
Water and ethanol are miscible, forming a homogeneous mixture due to similar polarities. Water and sodium chloride are not miscible as sodium chloride dissociates into ions in water. Water and oxygen are not miscible as oxygen is a gas and does not dissolve in water. Water and gasoline are immiscible due to their differing polarities.
Is methylene chloride miscible with water?
Yes, methylene chloride is partially miscible with water, meaning it can mix with water to some extent.
Is methylene chloride water miscible?
Yes, methylene chloride is partially miscible with water, meaning it can mix with water to some extent.
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.
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.
Is dichloromethane miscible in water?
Yes, dichloromethane is miscible in water, meaning it can mix and dissolve in water.
Why alcohals are miscible with water?
Alcohals are miscible in water and we cannot see anything after stirring it
Which two are miscible with one another oil water and ethanol?
Water and ethanol. Oil is immiscible with either of those.
What pairs of substances are miscible water and oxygen water and gasoline water and sodium chloride water and ethanol?
Water and ethanol are miscible, forming a homogeneous mixture due to similar polarities. Water and sodium chloride are not miscible as sodium chloride dissociates into ions in water. Water and oxygen are not miscible as oxygen is a gas and does not dissolve in water. Water and gasoline are immiscible due to their differing polarities.
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.
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.
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.
Why is ethonal miscible in water?
