The question ask to state the possible explanation for the miscibility and considering that water and hexane are immiscible and the best explanations is that the C=O bond makes acetone miscible and the C-C-C chain makes it miscible with hexane. The C=O is polar with water, and the C-C-C is non polar with hexane (like dissolves like). However, Hexane is non-polar and water is polar, so hexane is immiscible in wate
