Yet, my chemistry textbook says that both ethanol and methanol are miscible in water, but the more the carbon chain increases, the less miscible it becomes. Further supporting this statement is the fact that methanol is less soluble in hexane, a nonpolar substance, than ethanol. Therefore ethanol is less polar.Feb 23, 2017
