CH3CH3OH cannot be an organic compound. Carbon (C) has an octet of four valence electrons, in other words it binds to four other elements / compounds, etc. The middle Carbon is bound to 3 H, 1 C, and 1 OH = 5 not 4. The middle CH3 should be CH2 which would give CH3CH2OH and this compound is named "Ethanol."

∙ 14y agoThe compound CH3OH has several names. The chemical name is methanol. It is also know as wood alcohol or embalming fluid. Occasionally moonshiners make a mistake and get wood in their sour MASH. As a result, they get methanol in with their ethanol. As a result their customers overdose on wood alcohol. When the undertaker gets there, the body is already embalmed.

∙ 12y agoYou probably mean CH3CH2COOH, this is propanoic acid. CH3CH2OOH would be a very unstable molecule where the carbon closest to the oxygen would be tetravalent and both oxygens would have two bonds (they would prefer a double bond with carbon, which is why CH3CH2COOH is so much more stable)

Is wood alcohol a element?
No it is a chemical compound, methanol, CH3OH
Is CH3OH a salt or base or acid?
CH3OH is not a base and neither is it an acid. This is the chemical formula of methanol which is an alcohol.
Why does CH3OH not dissolve or mix with water?
CH3OH is the chemical formula for methanol. Methanol is miscible with water in ALL proportions. It DOES dissolve or mix with water.
What is the mass in grams of 9.32x1024 molecules of methanol CH3OH?
9.32*1024 (molec's CH3OH) / 6.022*1023 (molec's.mol−1 CH3OH) * 32.04 (g mol−1 CH3OH) = 495.8 g = 496 g CH3OH
What is the mass in grams of 9.03 X 1024 molecules of methanol CH3OH?
9.32*1024 (molec's CH3OH) / 6.022*1023 (molec's.mol−1 CH3OH) * 32.04 (g mol−1 CH3OH) = 495.8 g = 496 g CH3OH
What is the chemical formula for an alcohol?
An example is methanol, CH3OH.
Is wood alcohol a element?
No it is a chemical compound, methanol, CH3OH
Is CH3OH a salt or base or acid?
CH3OH is not a base and neither is it an acid. This is the chemical formula of methanol which is an alcohol.
What is the chemical name of this chemical formula of CH3OH?
This is the formula for Methanol, also known as wood alcohol. (Most of the Methanol on the market is actually sourced from petroleum, not wood, as it's cheaper and quicker to get it that way.)
What is the chemical formula of wood alcholo?
Wood alcohol is methanol, which has the formula CH3OH.
Why does CH3OH not dissolve or mix with water?
CH3OH is the chemical formula for methanol. Methanol is miscible with water in ALL proportions. It DOES dissolve or mix with water.
Write a balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas?
Co + 2h2 -> ch3oh
What is the mass in grams of 9.32x1024 molecules of methanol CH3OH?
9.32*1024 (molec's CH3OH) / 6.022*1023 (molec's.mol−1 CH3OH) * 32.04 (g mol−1 CH3OH) = 495.8 g = 496 g CH3OH
How did methyl violet methyl blue and methylene blue come to be called this name?
The "methyl" and "methylene" come from their chemical structures. Something that has "methyl" in its name contains a methyl group - CH3. A common chemical like this is methyl alcohol - CH3OH. The methylene group is CH2. The blue and violet? That's what color they are.
Is CH3OH ionic or molecular?
CH3OH is molecular.
What is the mass in grams of 9.03 X 1024 molecules of methanol CH3OH?
9.32*1024 (molec's CH3OH) / 6.022*1023 (molec's.mol−1 CH3OH) * 32.04 (g mol−1 CH3OH) = 495.8 g = 496 g CH3OH
What is COH4?
It is the alcohol , methanol . Its chemical symbol is usually qritten as 'H3COH 'or HCH2OH . The -CH2OH form indiocates that it is an alcohol.
