It depends on what you're trying to do with it. It produces fewer BTUs of heat than petrol does, so your fuel economy will be lower if you're using it as a motor fuel. Its flash point is higher than petrol's so it is safer to use as a solvent. If you want to make plastics, it's a different story: several plastics are made out of methanol, and none from petrol.

Why does butanol heat water more than methanol?
Butanol is has less polarity than methanol
Why does ammonia dissolve more easily in water than in methanol?
Its otherway around actualy methanol dissove more than ammonia in water because of stronger H bond
Is methanol lighter than water?
Yes.
Is methanol more soluble in water than ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2oh?
Yes, methanol is more soluble than pentanol. The reason is that although both alcohols have an OH group that is attracted to water, pentanol has a 5-carbon, non-polar (hydrophobic) chain that significantly decreases its solubility. The solubilty decreases as the carbon chain increases. I hope this helps.
What are the alcohols in which potassium fluoride is soluble?
Potassium fluoride (KF) is soluble in alcohols such as methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (C2H5OH), and isopropanol (C3H7OH). It forms strong hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atoms in the alcohol molecules, allowing for solubility.
Why add methanol to petrol?
it helps the veihicle last longer than others
Why is methanol less volatile than petrol?
At a basic chemical level, methanol is less reactive than petrol due to polarity. Just like water tends to hold together in droplets, methanol, being an alcohol, has polar molecules which hold the substance together. Petrol, on the other hand, is nonpolar, and doesn't have that force holding it together.
Why is methanol more acidic than water?
Methanol is not acidic, it is not dissociable.
Why does butanol heat water more than methanol?
Butanol is has less polarity than methanol
Why is a hydrogen engine more powerful than a petrol engine?
As hydrogen releases more energy than petrol, H engine is more powerful than petrol .
Is methanol more polar than acetone?
Methanol is more polar because is capable of dipole-dipole interactions AND hydrogen bonding while acetone is capable of just dipole-dipole interaction.
Is Methanol a more cohesive liquid than water?
no
Why has bitumen got a higher boiling point than petrol?
because bitumen has higher molar mass than petrol (more molecules than petrol), bitumen needs more energy to vaporize its molecules than petrol
Why does ammonia dissolve more easily in water than in methanol?
Its otherway around actualy methanol dissove more than ammonia in water because of stronger H bond
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 that 50 percent methanol damage membranes more or 25 percent acetone?
50% methanol will damage the membrane more than 25% acetone. we did the lab.
Difference between methanol and ethanol?
Methanol is CH3OH, ethanol is CH3CH2OH. Both are alcohols, ethanol has one carbon more (or a CH2 group more) and is less polar than methanol. Also ethanol has higher boiling point than methanol.
