Methyl alcohol, also called methanol, has molecular formula CH3OH. It is poisonous and can cause blindness.
Ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, has formula C2H5OH, and is the alcohol found in Alcoholic Beverages. It can also be used as an additive to or replacement
for gasoline. Ethanol is produced by fermentation, most often of corn or sugar for industrial purposes, but using grapes and other fruits and vegetables or grain (Beer, Vodka, whiskey, brandy, Bourbon...) as well for drinks.

∙ 14y agoThere are several methods to prepare the methyl alcohol but recent method is to heat the hydrogen gas with carbon monoxide in presence of a catalyst,
CO + 2H2 = CH3OH

Which shows maximum hydrogen bonding with wate.is it methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol?
Methyl alcohol
What is the solute in 60.0 mL of ethyl alcohol and 30.0 mL of methyl alcohol?
In this case the solute is methyl alcohol and solvent is ethyl alcohol. When two liquids mix, they are not usually referred to as "soluble", but rather are referred to as "miscible".
What is the difference between ethyl and methyl alcohol?
Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is madeof molecules containing one methyl group, with a chemical structure of CH3-OH. Methanol is highly toxic if inhaled, drunk, or absorbed through the skin and can cause blindness. Ethyl alcohol is the same as ethanol or grain alcohol. I has two methyl groups and looks like CH3-CH3-OH. This is the type of alcohol found in the alcoholic beverages people consume. Both compounds are organic and are good solvents and fixatives.
How methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol?
First we have to know the difference between methyl and ethyl and alcohol groups: A methyl group chemical formula is CH3- , of an ethyl group it is C2H5- , and alcohol group means the group contains -OH So methyl alcohol is methanol, CH3OH, and ethyl alcohol is ethanol, CH3CH2OH.
What degree Fahrenheit does alcohol boil at?
Ethyl alcohol boils at 172.4, methyl alcohol boils at 151.
Which shows maximum hydrogen bonding with wate.is it methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol?
Methyl alcohol
What are kinds of alcohols?
There are three types of alcohols, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol and methyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is the type that is consumed.
What is the solute in 60.0 mL of ethyl alcohol and 30.0 mL of methyl alcohol?

Are Methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol miscible?
Yes, they're miscible in every ratio
What is the type of solution of denatured and alcohol?
There are different formulations for denaturing ethyl alcohol. One such formulation adds isopropyl alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone and denatonium benzoate to the ethyl alcohol to make it unpalatable.
What degree Fahrenheit does alcohol boil at?
Ethyl alcohol boils at 172.4, methyl alcohol boils at 151.
How can a mixture of methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol be separated?
By distillation, though 100% pure is not attainable.
Which substance is added for the denaturation of ethyl alcohol unfit for drinking?
Many different denaturing methods have been used. The most common is adding methanol (methyl/wood alcohol). Other common additives are acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl keytone.
Is PbCl2 soluble in organic solvents?
No, a negligible amount may dissolve in methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol.
Ethyl alcohol and methyl alcohol are two brothers One is good the other one bad Why?
Ethyl alcohol also known as ethanol is the one you use in your drinks. This brother is good. If you drink methyl alcohol also called methanol then you die. That's why this brother is bad.
