    Which of the following pairs of substances are miscible?

    Definition: In chemistry, miscibility is the property of liquids to mix in all proportions, forming a homogeneous solution.

    ~Water and alcohol (isopropanol) - These are miscible in all proportions.

    ~Water and food coloring - Food coloring is either a water based or alcohol based colorant so these are miscible.

    ~Alcohol and food coloring - These are also miscible in all proportions.

    Which of the following conduct current? An electrical conductor requires ions in solution to carry electric current.

    ~Water - Not a conductor of electric current.

    ~Alcohol - Not a conductor of electric current.

    ~Food coloring - Not a conductor of electric current.

    ~Salt and water mixture - A good conductor of electric current.

    ~Salt - If melted salt will conduct electric current. As a solid it is not an electric conductor.

    Which of the following substances are flammable?

    ~Water - Not flammable

    ~Alcohol - Flammable

    ~Food coloring - Not flammable if water based, but flammable if alcohol based.

    ~Salt and water mixture - Not flammable

    ~Salt - Not flammable
