No, because ethane is nonpolar and water can only dissolve polar and charged ionic compounds since water itself is polar.

∙ 11y agoEthanoic acid and Water are both polar and polar solvents (water) can dissolve polar solutes (ethanoic acid) because of the attraction between them and their uneven charge distribution.

∙ 7y agoYes, and ethanol will dissolve water. They both have compatible intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding,) so they are completely miscible.

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.
Will ethanol dissolve polypropylene?
Polypropylene is not dissolved in ethanol.
Will ethyl alcohol dissolve in water?
Ethanol and water are freely miscible in all proportions. (In other words: yes, it will).
Can a solid be dissolved in a liquid?
Yes, it is possible to dissolve liquids but it depends on which liquids you mix together. When two liquids dissolve when mixed (such as water and ethanol) they are called miscible. Sometimes liquids do not mix at all (like water and oil) but it really depends on polarity.
Does water only dissolve inorganic compounds?
Water can dissolve organic compounds that are capable of hydrogen bonding. This would be organic compounds that contain a hydroxy group or amines. Remember that amines will not form hydrogen bonds in aromatic groups and their solubility in water decreases with increase in carbon atoms.
What is the solvents used to dissolve cinnamaldehyde?
Ethanol works. You can then dissolve the resulting solution in water, though I've never tried more than a 50/50 ethanol/water mix.
Does beeswax dissolve in ethanol?
Yes. Beeswax does dissolve in Ethanol.
How do you prepare 95 percent ethanol from absolute ethanol?
It is prepared by taking five volume of ethanol and dissolve in 100 ml of water .
Does carbon dioxide dissolve in ethanol?
Carbon dioxide has a very low solubility in ethanol.
Can ethanol C6H12O6 dissolves in water?
Well first, ethanol is C2H6O. C6H12O6 is glucose or one of its isomers. Both will dissolve in water.
Does potassium chloride dissolve in ethanol?
Yes. KCl will dissolve in ethanol.

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.
Why are lipids soaked in ethanol in an emulsion test?
Lipids are soaked in water because they do not dissolve in water but the ethanol will allow the lipid to dissolve such that when diluted the ethanol will fall out of solution to form an emulsion.
Why use ethanol and water for recrystallisation of aspirin?
Ethanol is used because the Aspirin can dissolve into it however when it is then added into the water the aspirin can dissolve so comes back and re appears and as it reappears it comes back purer than before
Does ethanol dissolve in water primarily because of hydrogen bonding?
Yes, mainly because of that.
Does sand dissolve in Ethanol?
Sand is not soluble in ethanol.
