Why is ethanol miscible in water?

Water molecules have hydrogen bonds between them. Since they cannot form hydrogen bonds with the ethoxyethane molecules, the ethoxyethane molcules are not soluble in water.

Why does propanone has a higher boiling point than ethoxyethane?

Ethoxyethane is heavier than propanone and that will surely make a difference. The carbon-oxygen bond in ethers is less polarized than that in aldehydes and ketones. This is because the oxygen in ethers is attached to two electron pushing alkyl groups which account for the oxygen atom's electronegativity. Thus, dipole-dipole interactions are weaker in ethers giving them a lower boiling point than the corresponding aldehyde or ketone.


Is Ethoxyethane soluble in alcohol?

That's some odd terminology there, I tell you what. Nearly everyone calls "ethoxyethane" just "ether" or, sometimes, "ethyl ether" or "diethyl ether". "Alcohol" is a class of compounds, but usually means "ethanol". So you've used one excessively pedantic name, and one really ambiguous name. That said, the answer is yes, it is. For that matter, it's soluble in water to some extent.
