Water and an equal volume of glycerin were poured into a test tube. The mixture was shaken. Then the same amount of glycerin was added. What about the solubility of glycerin in water?

Glycerin – the simplest representative of trihydric alcohols, has the formula C3H5 (OH) 3 and is a viscous transparent liquid with a sweetish taste. When mixing glycerin with water, we end up with a glycerin solution. The formula looks like this:
C2H5 (OH) 3 + H2O = C2H5 (OH) 3 * H2O
Glycerin mixes with water in all respects, but its contraction is slightly lost and the temperature of the general solution rises.
