Answer:
No, it is not appropriate to mix water and DMSO
Explanation:
We have to realize that DMSO is a highly polar solvent and water is a highly polar solvent. The question explicitly says that our target is to produce a solvent of<u><em> intermediate polarity</em></u>.
We can only do this by mixing a polar and a nonpolar solvent. We have been given the example of the mixture of acetone/hexane which is quite a perfect mixture.
Thus, it is inappropriate to mix DMSO and water.

4H2O (l) ---> 2H2O (l) + O2 (g) + 2H2 (g)
