How does ethanol treat methanol poisoning?
Methanol isn't actually poisonous, but the chemicals produced when your body metabolises methanol are. The enzymes that metabolise methanol also metabolise ethanol, but when both are present the ethanol is processed first. Methanol is also removed from the body via the lungs, sweat glands and in urine. Giving ethanol prevents the toxic by products of metabolism whilst these other methods remove the methanol from their system. This treatment only works if given early. It does not reverse the the damage done by methanol that has already been metabolised.
How does methanol react with water?
Methanol does not react with water.
Density of methanol?
The density of methanol is .7918g/cm3

Symbol for methanol?
there is no "symbol" as such for methanol as it is not an element, it is a compound and a compound is made up of two or more elements. the formula of the compound methanol is CH3OH sometimes this is abreviated to MeOH
What effect does methanol have on the human body?
methane must not be ingested at all times. ingestion of methane in any form causes blindness and conclusively, death. this is the reason why only ethanol can be found in our drinks as alcohol
