the reasons for this is that part of the alcohol is polar molecules and part of the molecule is non polar but the alcohol will mix either polar substance or non polar substance

Can ethyl alcohol dissolve oil?
No. Like water ethyl alcohol is a polar solvent and will not dissolve most nonpolar solutes such as oil.
What is the solute in 60.0 mL of ethyl alcohol and 30.0 mL of methyl alcohol?
In this case the solute is methyl alcohol and solvent is ethyl alcohol. When two liquids mix, they are not usually referred to as "soluble", but rather are referred to as "miscible".
How methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol?
First we have to know the difference between methyl and ethyl and alcohol groups: A methyl group chemical formula is CH3- , of an ethyl group it is C2H5- , and alcohol group means the group contains -OH So methyl alcohol is methanol, CH3OH, and ethyl alcohol is ethanol, CH3CH2OH.
What is ethyl alcohol an example of?
Ethyl alcohol is an organic compound
If you boil ethyl alcohol does the chemical structure change?
No. The chemical structure of ethyl alcohol gas is the same as ethyl alcohol liquid.
What do you use for perfume spray rubbing alcohol or ethyl alcohol?
For perfumes the most used solvent is the ethyl alcohol.
What is the solute and solvent in wine?
In wine the solute is ethyl alcohol and solvent is water.
Can ethyl alcohol dissolve oil?
No. Like water ethyl alcohol is a polar solvent and will not dissolve most nonpolar solutes such as oil.

Which solvent has the greatest lipid solubility Why do you think this?
The best lipid solvents are Hexane, Ethyl Alcohol and Methyl Alcohol. This is because lipids are nonpolar and hydrophobic. Hexane has the highest hydrophobicity of any solvent and is thus the best at dissolving hydrophobic molecules.
The type of alcohol used in beverage?
Ethanol (or ethyl alcohol)
Why is ethyl alcohol neutral?
ethyl alcohol is neutral due to inductive effect
What are types of solvents for plant extraction?
Plants material contains Organic compounds along with salts and water, some organic compounds are polar and soluble in ethyl alcohol or ethyl acetate but some are non polar and soluble in ether or hexane, so two types of solvents may be used for plants extraction, the best way is to use non polar solvent first and extract the non polar compounds then use the polar solvent and extract the polar compounds.
What is ethyl alcohol made of?
Alcohol
