Methanol will freeze at negative 143 (Fahrenheit)/ negative 97 (Celsius). If it is added to water (freezing point of 32*F/0*C) then it will make the water freeze at a lower temperature.

So yes, methanol will lower the freezing point of any liquid that freezes at a higher temperature than methanol. But methanol cannot lower the freezing point of any liquid that will still be liquid at -143*F/-97*C.

What will alcohol do to the freezing point of water?

No it would lower it. This is why de-icer is often alcohol (methanol) based. Alcohol turns to a solid (freezes) at a lower temperature then pure water. Freezing point of pure methanol is -98C


What is freezing point constant of methanol?

The freezing point of methanol depends on its concentration in water.For example for 10% methanol by mass in water, the freezing point is -7 degree centigrade. For 100% methanol by mass, the freezing point is -98 degree centigrade.Refer to link below for more details.


Why methanol uses as brine?
