The tables below give qualitative information on the miscibility of pairs of organic liquids. Two liquids are considered miscible if mixing equal volumes produces a single liquid phase. If two phases separate, they are considered immiscible. An entry of partially misc. indicates two phases whose volumes differ appreciably, suggesting a partial miscibility of the components. The entry reaction indicates a chemical reaction between the components. All data refer to room temperature.
The initial column is repeated in all three tables. The second liquids, given as column headings, are divided into three groups as follows. In some instances, synonyms for these compounds (as given in parentheses below an entry) are used as row labels.
