Answer:

Water Solubility Test

Explanation:

Ethanol possess a polar -OH group which is capable of forming hydrogen bond in water. Thus making ethanol miscible with water and ultimately soluble.

Cyclohexane on the other hand is a non polar compound with no dipole-dipole interaction ability with water. This makes it insoluble in water
