Explanation:
The solubility of substances is governed by: Like dissolves like, which states that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.
Ethanol with general formula CH_3CH_2OHCH
3
CH
2
OH is polar due to electronegativity difference between hydrogen and oxygen .
CCl_4CCl
4
is non polar in nature due to symmetrical structure as the dipole moments cancel each other and thus is soluble in non polar solvents only.
Water being a polar solvent is able to dissolve ethanol and not carbon tetra chloride which is non polar in nature.
