Methanol is the simplest alcohol compound, comprised of one carbon atom, oneoxygen atom and fourhydrogen atoms (CH3OH). It is also referred to as wood alcohol, carbonyl and methyl alcohol.

Although methanol can be produced using a number of raw materials (feedstocks), natural gas is preferred. The methane in natural gas reacts with steam in a reaction called steam-methane reforming; the resultant synthesis gas then reacts with a catalyst to produce methanol and water vapor.

meth is made of meth, its like asking what water is made of. Meth is not a mixture of substances but a single substance as the result of a synthesis.

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.

What is an acetyl?

Acetyls are organic compounds that are being produced by reacting acetic acid. The acetic acid used for the production of Acetyls is made by reacting carbon monoxide with methanol. Further, methanol can also be used to produce acetic acid and formaldehyde. Acetyls like vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) are also produced when acetic acid is made to react with ethylene.


When methanol burns and leaves a residue is it a chemical change?

Combustion is a chemical change. You would expect methanol to be fully oxidised to CO2 and water. Any residue could may be due to impurities or more likely to incomplete combustion which produced sooty carbon residues.
