Why methanol is miscible to water?

Answer 1

yes because ethanol and water are both soluble with each other, both the ethanol and the water are molecular substances with O−H bonds, the attractions broken between water molecules and the attractions broken between ethanol molecules are hydrogen bonds. The attractions that form between the ethanol and water molecules are also hydrogen bonds.

Answer 2

Methanol - which is a carbon with 3 hydrogens and one OH group attached - is quite polar. Since water is also polar they tend to mix quite nicely. Through Hydrogen Bonds, the partial positive charge of the hydrogen in the OH group of the methanol is attracted to the partial negative charge of oxygen in water. Also, inversely the hydrogen in water is attracted to the oxygen in the OH group of the methanol. A dipole-dipole bond is also formed between the two substances due to the difference in charges. They therefore have an affinity for one another, and to be separated (as an example through fractional or simple distillation) the dipole dipole bonds and hydrogen bonds would need to be broken.

Answer 3

Methanol is miscible with water due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. These hydrogen bonds allow methanol to mix evenly with water at a molecular level, leading to a homogeneous mixture. The presence of hydroxyl (OH) groups in methanol molecules also contributes to its miscibility with water.

Answer 4

Yes. Because both substances are polar and methanol is capable of Hydrogen bonding, the CH3OH will dissolve in the H20, creating a homogenous mixture.

Answer 5

The miscibility is total.
