It is a solution when you mix it enough so that the molecules of the alcohol fill the gaps of the water and so its turns homogeneous (looks the same throughout). But some alcohols don't because they might be more or less denser than water which prevents it from mixing together.
Hope this helps =)

∙ 12y agoAn alcohol solution in water is obtained; the density of the mixture is slightly higher than the average of the two separately. There is a slight exothermic reaction.
Also the final volume is decreased compared with the sum of the volumes of the two initial components.

∙ 13y agoYes, water and ethanol mix. You should be aware that ethanol is the name of the kind of alcohol that is present in alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, gin, etc. So people mix these things all the time.

∙ 7y agoDepending on which alcohol you use, they will simply mix and make a solution, without any chemical reactions. This would be the case for ethanol, for example. If the alcohol is a larger alcohol, i.e. one with more carbons, then they may not be miscible and you will simply get two phases. This will happen with alcohols that have more than about 5 carbons in the chain.

∙ 7y agoAlcohols and water normally mix on a very wide range of proportions. For example, ethanol and water mix at all proportions.

∙ 7y agoEthanol is miscible with water in any proportion.

∙ 7y agoYou get a solution of alcohol in water which, if you keep adding alcohol, will become a solution of water in alcohol. A waste of good alcohol, if you ask me!

Water and ethanol can mix easily in all proportions. why?
Water and ethanol have both OH GROUPS SO THEY CAN DO THE H.BONDING EXTENSIVELY. That is why they can mix with each other
Why does ethanol burn differently than ethanol and water mixed?
the main reason why ethanol burns differently then ethanol and water mix is mainly because when you add the water to the ethanol you are making the ethanol less potent so it will burn weaker.
What is the role of ethanol in saponification?
ethanol allows oil to be able to mix with water.
What happens when ethanol is added to soap?
From the experiment, why is a mixture of ethanol and water instead of simply water itself used for saponification? ... Ethanol is the catalyst in saponification C. Ethanol would help the soaps obtained from saponification reaction become more soluble in water D.
Is ethanol hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
well being ethanol is an alcohol, I'd say hydrophilic because alcohol can mix in water, as opposed to oil which separates.
Is ethanol and water can mix together?
yes. ethanol and water are soluble / miscible
Does ethanol mix freely with water?
Yes.

What solvent of desolves zno?
Ethanol+water mix.-

10ml of ethanol mix with 40ml of water find percent concentration of ethanol solution?
20%
What is the role of ethanol in saponification?

How do you distinguish between hexane and ethanol?
With Ethanol and Distilled water.. IT is suppose to turn cloudy so fats are present.
Why is it not possible to use ethanol to extract an organic compound from water?
Because ethanol and water are miscible solutions, that is that they can mix together or co-dissolve.

Where does Fred Meyer get its gasoline from?
They mix their gasoline with 10% ( E10 ) ethanol and water.
Does oil and alcohol mix?
no. Yes. Ethanol (drinking alcohol) is soluble in both both oil and water. If an oil and ethanol solution is mixed with water I think the ethanol will separate from the oil and mix with the water resulting in a cloudy emulsion of an ethanol-water solution with tiny droplets of oil. This is called louching.
