There is no such compound as CH2OH. The compounds CH2O (formaldehyde) and CH3OH (methanol) do exist. Both contain carbon and are miscible in water for largely the same reason. Formaldehyde contains a highly polar C-O double bond while methanol contains both a polar C-O bond and a polar O-H bond. Polar bonds tend to make molecules water soluble.

Is cs2 miscible in water?

No, carbon disulfide (CS2) is not miscible in water. This is because CS2 is a nonpolar compound while water is a polar molecule. Nonpolar and polar molecules do not mix easily due to their differing intermolecular forces.


Is CS2 miscible?
