Water and ethanol have both OH GROUPS SO THEY CAN DO THE H.BONDING EXTENSIVELY. That is why they can mix with each other

Is ethanol miscible with water?
Very much so, yes. This is why beer, which is typically five to ten percent alcohol and the rest water, presents as a uniform liquid rather than a layer of alcohol floating on top of a mass of water.
Can water and ethanol mix?
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 =)
Why there is no 100 ethanol?
most "absolute" ethanol used in the lab is 95% ethanol by volume,this is due to the fact the ethanol is very miscible with water so its difficult to remove all the water that is present in the atmosphere,it is possible to get 100 alcohol but it is an awkward process and generally 95 does the job just fine
What happens when you add sucrose to water and ethanol?
It goes all funny and wired
How would you separate a mixture of water and ethanol?
By fractional distillation. Heat the mixture gently. As the temperature rises both liquids will evaporate and should be cooled and the condensate collected. The temperature will stabilise at around 78 deg C when all the remaining ethanol will evaporate.What you are left with is pure water. The condensate is mainly ethanol with a small quantity of water. It can be distilled again to increase its purity.
Is CH3CH2OH most soluble in water?
I would replace that word 'most' with 'totally' ... ethanol and water mix in all proportions.
Will ethyl alcohol dissolve in water?
Ethanol and water are freely miscible in all proportions. (In other words: yes, it will).
Is ethanol miscible with water?
Very much so, yes. This is why beer, which is typically five to ten percent alcohol and the rest water, presents as a uniform liquid rather than a layer of alcohol floating on top of a mass of water.
Is it possible to make saturated solution of water and alcohol?
It is impossible to make a saturated solution of ethanol or methanol and water because ethanol and methanol are completely miscible in all proportions. Some other alcohols may be less miscible and, if so, they could make a saturated solution. I will leave the question open with regards to ALL ALCOHOLS.
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 does water dissolve more salt than ethanol?
Water is polar, and so is salt (because it's ionic and therefore polar by definition.) So salt dissolves easily in water, because in chemistry, "like dissolves like." Ethanol is non-polar (because it's a hydrocarbon, and they're all non-polar.) So water and ethanol won't dissolve in each other. Nor will ethanol dissolve salt.
Can you drink Champagne than switch to wine?
Vodka is essentially ethanol and water, which are miscible in all proportions; wine contains a lot of water, a little ethanol, and a bunch of other stuff. So yes, vodka and wine are miscible.
Is isopropyl soluble in water?
Yes, ispropyl alcohol is water soluble in all proportions.
What term is given to such liquids if alcohol and water mix in all proportions?
Rare
Does all auto gasoline have water and ethanol?
No; water is also unwanted and exist normally in traces.
