Acetone and water are miscible. Acetone and hexane are also miscible. What is the possible explanation for their miscibilities, considering that water and hexane are immiscible?
Acetone is miscible because it has a C=O bond, while its C-C-C carbon chain makes it miscible with hexane. However, hexane is non-polar while water is polar, and since the two molecules have different polarities, they are immiscible.
