The polar isopropanol molecules are attracted to the polar water molecules at the surface of the water. The isopropanol molecules surround the water molecules. The water molecules are carried into the solution. The water molecules spread evenly throughout the solution.

The solution required two things to mix with each other. one of them is solute which is present less in amount and the other is solvent which is present in more amount. The water acts as the universal solvent.

According to the question, the water (universal solvent) is mixed with the polar liquid that is isopropanol. The solute is only mixed with the solvent if both the polarity is different.

The polar liquid is only mixed with non-polar liquid. The polar isopropanol molecules are attracted to the polar water molecules at the surface of the water. The isopropanol molecules surround the water molecules.

The water molecules are carried into the solution. The water molecules spread evenly throughout the solution.
