MCQ
Methanol and ethanol are miscible in water due to
  • A
    Covalent character
  • Hydrogen bonding character
  • C
    Oxygen bonding character
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
Hydrogen bonding character
b
Methanol and ethanol contain polar covalent $O - H$ bond. Hence, they can form hydrogen bonds. Due to their hydrogen bonding character, they are miscible with water.
