what kind of mixture is the ethanol
Answers
Explanation:
The mixture of ethanol and water is a type of homogeneous mixture. This is because ethanol is soluble in water and hence it is not possible to distinguish the ethanal and water from the solution.
Hope it helps...
Ethanol and water, after mixing, can very easily become a homogeneous mixture, because the two liquids are miscible, soluble in all proportions. However, when you first add ethanol to water, they are inhomogenous- you can often see the irregular mixing in the fact that the two liquids have different refractive indexes, and you will see light passing through the container of mixed ethanol and water will swirl and bend light until the two are fully mixed.
They also can become inhomogenous spontaneously, as well- if the mixture is allowed to stand while at a high temperature, the ethanol will preferentially evaporate and often condense on the sides of the glass, forming wine tears.
