Among other things, "miscible" means able to mix in _any_ proportions
and stay mixed; not just "blended" like oil and vinegar salad
dressing.
Just looked at a miscibility predictor chart -- based upon relative
polarities of the two solvents, ethanol and Naphtha are not predicted to be
miscible. And it stands to reason, as ethanol is strongly polar, and
naphtha strongly non-polar. (and water is polar, and oil not...)
Polarity eh?
I was poking about on the web, but didn't know how to ask the question.
This is interesting.
Thanks!
