from class: Intro to Chemistry Definition Partially miscible liquids are those that can dissolve in each other but only to a limited extent. Beyond a certain concentration, two distinct liquid layers will form.
congrats on reading the definition of partially miscible . now let's actually learn it.
Predict what's on your test 5 Must Know Facts For Your Next Test Partially miscible liquids form two distinct layers when mixed beyond their solubility limit. Examples include water and ether or water and phenol. The degree of partial miscibility depends on temperature and pressure. Phase diagrams can be used to represent the solubility limits of partially miscible liquids. The border between the two phases is called the binodal curve. Review Questions What happens when you mix partially miscible liquids beyond their solubility limit? Give an example of a pair of partially miscible liquids. How does temperature affect the partial miscibility of liquids?
