When ethanol and cyclohexane are mixed, an observable temperature change typically occurs due to the endothermic nature of the mixing process. The interaction between the polar ethanol and the nonpolar cyclohexane disrupts the hydrogen bonding in ethanol, leading to a decrease in temperature as the system absorbs heat from the surroundings. This cooling effect can be measured and is indicative of the energy changes involved in the mixing of these two liquids.
