Answer:

              Ethanol is completely miscible due to <u><em>presence</em></u> of Hydrogen bonding.

              Ethanethiol is partially miscible due to <u><em>absence</em></u> of Hydrogen Bonding.

Explanation:

                     The miscibility of liquids depend upon the intermolecular interactions between the two liquids. The stronger the intermolecular interactions the more miscible will be the liquids.

Among the two given examples, Ethanol is more miscible in water because it exhibits hydrogen bonding which is considered the strongest intermolecular interaction. Hydrogen bonding occurs when the hydrogen atom is bonded to more electronegative atoms like Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen. In this way the hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge and the electronegative atom gets partial negative charge. Hence, these partial charges results in attracting the opposite charges on other surrounding atoms.

While, in case of Ethanethiol the hydrogen atom is not bonded to any high electronegative atom hence, there will be no hydrogen bonding and therefore, there will be less interactions between the neighbour atoms.

Answer:

(C) substance B is not involved in the rate-determining step of the mechanism but is involved in subsequent steps.

Explanation:

A. Is incorrect because if the order of the reaction with respect B was one then the rate would increase by the same multiple that B is increased by.

B. If B is reactant then it must be involved in the mechanism of the reaction and in the formation of the product

D. If B was a catalyst then increasing it's amount would affect the rate

E. That is just factually untrue. Effect of reactants on rates can only be found experimentally, not stoichiometrically.
