Pure methane is odorless.
Pure methane when burned produces carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water, all of which are odorless.
However the methane available is not pure but has odorants added (e.g. methyl mercaptan) which give it a sulfur like smell and may in some cases pass that smell to the products of combustion.
The wood alcohol methanol when pure smells of nothing. It is detectable because it irritates the nostrils when its vapours hit the cells and olfactory nerves in the nostrils.
Like alcohol
pretty much odorless , but mixed with methanol it forms a very pungent minty smell.
They would be very difficult to tell apart. Similar in taste and smell. Similar densities. Methanol boils at 65°C but ethanol boils at 78°C so that might help. Hopefully the label on the bottle would tell you.
Methanol does not react with water.
The density of methanol is .7918g/cm3

Methanol, glucose and sodium chloride are very different compounds and they react different.
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.

methanol is liquid
Methanol is an alcohol and consists of carbon,hydrogen and oxygen its formula is CH3OH
No, at room temperature methanol is a liquid.
Methanol does not react with water.
The density of methanol is .7918g/cm3
Methanol
The methanol is a base not a acid
no it does not smell like that
