Answer:

Ethanol is more soluble in water because the hydroxyl group on the end of alcohol forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules,while ethane is hydrophobic and causes the solution to be highy ordered.

Answer: Because Ethanol and water both have same polarity they have more solubility.

Explanation:

Ethanol is a 2 carbon hydroxyl chain, and what is it as a alcohol is its useful OH group. The hydroxy group is joined to one of the two carbons, this makes a dipole moment towards the more electronegative oxygen. This dipole moment makes an electro negative contrast that qualifies the particle as polar.

Water contains an oxygen particle between two hydrogens, this likewise makes a dipole second and qualifies the particle as polar.

An improved on solvency idea in science is that, "similar gets dissolve in like", this is the justification for why ethanol is dissolvable in water. The hydroxy group on ethanol makes unevenly circulated charge on the atom and makes it polar, and because of dissolvability it will break down in the polar water as both ethanol and water are polar solvent that can make hydrogen bonding to each other if mixed with each other.
