Is ethanol, a polar organic molecule that can hydrogen bond, miscible with water?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethanol is polar and can hydrogen bond, just like water. This means that they have similar polarities and can interact with each other, making them miscible. Therefore, choice B is correct. Choice A and C are incorrect because the fact that they are both liquids does not necessarily mean that they are miscible. Choice D is incorrect because they do have similar polarities. Choice E is incorrect because ethanol and water are both polar molecules, so they do have similar polarities.
