yes, it has to because it has an OH group which participates in hydrogen bonding. this is why it stays in liquid phase at lower temperatures than methane.

Is methane heavier than air?
All those gases which have molecular mass less than 28 are lighter than air as H2,He,CH4,and Ne.
Why are methanol and higher hydrocarbons easier and cheaper to transport than methane?
they are liquids
Why is the enthalpy change of combustion for methanol less negative than methane?
The combustion of methanol to form products of H2O and CO2 do not have as much of an energy change compared to methane and a result methanol releases less energy compared to methane. The more negative an enthalpy change is, the more heat it is going to release.
Can a block of ashwood float in Methanol?
No, not any substance, but some, and here's why. Methanol has a density of 0.79g. If you put something in the methanol, say wood (oak), that weighs 0.89g, which is more, it will sink. It all depends on if it weighs more or less than the methanol. If it weighs more, it will sink, If it weighs less, it will float.
Why is methanol more polar than ethanol?
Methane is CH4 or H-CH3 Ethane is CH3-CH3 When compared to H- (in methane), the CH3- (methyl group in ethane) is more electron donating and hence ethane is more basic than methane.
Is methanol more soluable than methane?
Yes, methanol is CH3OH and methane is CH4. Methanol is polar (because of the O-H bond) and methane is non-polar (because it is a hydrocarbon.) Water (which is polar) will dissolve other polar things, but not non-polar things.
What does the density have to be greater than for an object to float?
It has to be greater than the density of the fluid in which it is to be floated.
If an object sinks when being placed in water its density is?
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
One object has a greater density than another when it has?
one object has greater density than another when it has
Will methane gas rise when released in the air?
Methane gas settles down because methane gas is heavier than and is carried by the upward displacement of air. ---------------------------------------------- The density of methane is 0,717 g/L and the density of air is 1,2 g/L at 0 0C; consequently methane gas raise in the air.
Is The air density in Atlanta lesser or greater than the air density in Colorado?
greater
Which has greater density ice or water how can you say that?
Water has a greater density than ice.
