What happens when distilled water is added to ethanol and cyclohexane
When distilled water is added to ethanol and cyclohexane, the ethanol and water will mix together due to their similar polarities. Ethanol is a polar molecule due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, while cyclohexane is nonpolar. This means that ethanol and water will form a homogeneous mixture, while cyclohexane will remain separate from the ethanol-water mixture forming a separate layer.
Overall, you would end up with two distinct layers in the mixture: one layer containing ethanol and water (homogeneous mixture) and another layer containing cyclohexane (immiscible with water).
