Yes, oil and ethanol can be mixed together. However, they are immiscible, meaning they do not readily dissolve in each other. To create a mixture, you would need to use a surfactant or emulsifier to help disperse the oil droplets in the ethanol. This type of mixture is known as an emulsion.

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.


What is the role of ethanol in saponification?

Ethanol is sometimes used in saponification processes as a solvent to dissolve oils and fats, which helps facilitate the reaction between the fats and the alkali to produce soap. Ethanol can also act as a catalyst to speed up the saponification reaction.


Why does ethanol burn differently than ethanol and water mixed?

Ethanol burns differently than a mix of ethanol and water because water has a higher boiling point compared to ethanol. Water will absorb heat during combustion, which can lower the overall temperature and affect the efficiency of the burning process. This can lead to a slower and less complete combustion compared to pure ethanol.


Is ethanol hydrophilic or hydrophobic?

Ethanol is both hydrophilic and hydrophobic. Its hydroxyl (-OH) group makes it hydrophilic, allowing it to dissolve in water. However, its hydrocarbon chain makes it hydrophobic, meaning it can also dissolve nonpolar substances.


What happens when you put frozen ethanol into liquid ethanol?

When you put frozen ethanol into liquid ethanol, the frozen ethanol will begin to melt and mix with the liquid ethanol. Both states of ethanol will reach an equilibrium temperature, and the frozen ethanol will ultimately dissolve into the liquid ethanol to form a homogeneous solution.

What liquid will oil mix?

Oil will mix well with other non-polar liquids such as other types of oil or organic solvents like hexane or ethanol. Oil will not mix with water, which is a polar liquid.


Does oil and alcohol mix?

No because alcohol is polar and only polar chemicals mix with other polar chemcials. Oil is not polar, making it unable to mix with alcohol. I think actually most or all types of alcohol do mix with oil. I am not certain about every type but the ethanol (the kind in adult beverages) molecule has a polar end and a nonpolar end. Isopropyl alcohol also dissolves oil. That ethanol mixes with both alcohol and water has an interesting application. Spirits such as ouza are almost pure ethanol and aromatic oils. When it is poured into water the ethanol is soluable but the aromatic oils are not and a cloudy white emulsion of water/ethanol with oil dropletts is formed. This effect is called louching. Another spirit that does this is arak and to a lesser extent absinthe. I think perfumes that are alcohol and oils should do this too.


What happens when you mix olive oil and ethanol?

yes when olive oil is mixed with alomond oil its still just oil and its good to use in your hair


Can mix bleach plus gasoil plus ethanol?

No way in hell. The ethanol will precipitate the bleach into salt and the gas oil will be immiscible in the solution due to the salt precipitation.


What is miscible ethanol and water or water and oil?

Ethanol is miscible with water, meaning they can mix in all proportions to form a homogeneous solution. Oil is immiscible with water, meaning they do not mix and instead form separate layers due to differences in polarity and intermolecular forces.


Which two are miscible with one another oil water and ethanol?

Water and ethanol. Oil is immiscible with either of those.

Why chloroform and ethanol dissolved with coconut?

Chloroform and ethanol can dissolve in coconut oil because they are both organic solvents that have similar properties to the fatty acids found in coconut oil. This allows them to mix well together and form a homogeneous solution.


Do ethanol and NaCl mix?

No, they are immiscible.


Can cooking oil dissolve in ethanol hot?

Cooking oil is dissolved in hot ethanol.


How many layers would be seen if water vegetable oil and ethanol were in one test tube?

There would be two layers present. One layer would consist of a water-ethanol mixture. The other layer would be the vegetable oil. This occurs because water and ethanol are both polar and can participate in hydrogen bonding. Therefore, they are miscible in each other. However, vegetable oil is non polar and will not mix with either ethanol or water.


Can you mix non ethanol gas with ethanol gas?

No, its bad for your engine Sure you can mix them as long as your vehicle has a flex fuel engine. You can also mix then in a non flex fuel engine as long as you do not mix more than 10% ethanol with plain gasoline.
