What is Miscibility?

Miscibility describes the ability of two liquids to mix in all proportions to form a homogeneous solution. Liquids are miscible if their intermolecular forces are compatible ('like dissolves like'). Water and ethanol are fully miscible; water and diethyl ether are only partially miscible; water and hexane are essentially immiscible. Miscibility is important in extraction and separation chemistry.
