Liquids that mix well with water (miscible):
* Alcohols: Ethanol (drinking alcohol), methanol, isopropanol
* Acids: Vinegar (acetic acid), lemon juice (citric acid), hydrochloric acid
* Bases: Ammonia solution, sodium hydroxide solution
* Some salts: Table salt (sodium chloride), sugar (sucrose)
Liquids that don't mix well with water (immiscible):
* Oils: Vegetable oil, mineral oil, olive oil
* Gasoline
* Kerosene
* Mercury
It's important to note:
* Solubility: Even miscible liquids have limits to how much can be dissolved in water. For example, you can dissolve a lot of sugar in water, but eventually, the water will become saturated and no more sugar will dissolve.
* Polarity: Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a positive and negative end. Liquids that are also polar tend to mix well with water. Non-polar liquids, like oils, don't mix well with water.
