Explain why ethanol and water are miscible yet tetrachloride and water are immiscible.​

CCl4 can neither form H-bonds with water molecules nor can it break H-bonds in water molecules. Therefore, it is insoluble in water. Ethanol is a polar compound and can form H-bonds with water, which is a polar solvent. Therefore,it is miscible with water in all proportions

Explanation:

FIRSTLY WATER MOLECULES CONTAIN ONE OXYGEN AND TWO HYDROGEN(H2O) .HENCE IN THIS STRUCTURE THE BOND BETWEEN OXYGEN AND HYDROGEN IS COVALENT AND POLARIZABLE .HENCE OXYGEN ATOM ATTRACTS ELECTRONS MORE STRONGLY TOWARDS INWARDS AS COMPARE TO 2 HYDROGEN ATOMS. DUE TO WHICH OXYGEN ATOM GET SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE CHARGE AND 2 HYDROGEN OCCUPY SLIGHTLY POSITIVE CHARGE THAT MAKE WATER A POLAR MOLECULE. :NOW IN ETHANOL(CH3CH2OH),ETHANOL MOLECULE IS FORMED BY 2 CARBON ATOM JOINED BY SINGLE BOND WHICH IS NOT POLAR.IN β CARBON OF ETANOL CARBON IS BONDED TO 3 HYDROGEN ATOMS WHICH MAKES IT NON POLAR DUE TO SYMMETRY BUT α CARBON HAS 2 HYDROGEN AND 1 OH- ION (SAME AS IN THE CASE OF WATER MOLECULE) SO THIS CARBON ATOM BECAMES POLAR AND HENCE ETHANOL MOLECULES BECAMES POLAR. NOW WE KNOW THAT SAME CHARGE REPEL EACH OTHER AND UNLIKE CHARGES ATTRACTS EACH OTHER SO THE SLIGHTHLY POSITIVE CHARGE OF WATER MOLECULE MAKES A BOND WITH THE.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).

it’s previous models   because when i picked that son of a gun’s answer it was wrong look for previous models because they might make it a different letter
