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

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


Does ethanol mix freely with water?

Yes, ethanol and water are miscible, meaning they can mix together in all proportions. This is due to the presence of hydrogen bonding in both ethanol and water molecules, allowing them to form intermolecular interactions and mix easily.


Why ethanol and water are miscible?

They are polar molecules and can form Hydrogen bond among each other. For Alcohol, miscibility is lowered at higher chain. Moving from Methanol -> Ethanol -> Propanol is miscible but Butanol can dissolve at only 11%


What pairs of substances are miscible water and oxygen water and gasoline water and sodium chloride water and ethanol?

Water and ethanol are miscible, forming a homogeneous mixture due to similar polarities. Water and sodium chloride are not miscible as sodium chloride dissociates into ions in water. Water and oxygen are not miscible as oxygen is a gas and does not dissolve in water. Water and gasoline are immiscible due to their differing polarities.


Why is liquid water and ethanol described as miscible?

Because a mixture of ethanol and water in any proportions forms a single phase liquid at standard temperature and pressure. That is the meaning of "miscible".


Is ethanol and water can mix together?

Yes, ethanol and water can mix together. They are miscible, meaning they can dissolve in each other in any proportion to form a homogeneous solution. Ethanol is soluble in water because of the presence of an -OH group in its molecular structure.


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.


Can excess extra neutral alcohol sediment in water?

Ethanol and water are miscible.


Examples of miscible liquids?

Two miscible liquids are: Alcohol and water.Sorry if this isn't what you wanted.


Is ethanol and water miscible?

Yes it is. Because they are both not polar.


I need a list of miscible and immiscible liquids.?

immiscible oil and water copper and cobalt


Why are liquid water and ethanol described as miscible?

Solubility (miscibility when concerning two liquids) depends on the solvent and the solute being able to interact with each other through similar intermolecular forces. Water and ethanol can both participate in hydrogen bonding and therefore they are miscible. Cyclohexane is do not have any polar atoms or bonds and therefore can only interact through London dispersion forces, which is incompatible with water since the small size and polar nature of water precludes it from participating in London dispersion force interactions. Cyclohexane will be miscible in other liquids that share its properties, such as octane.
