Want this question answered?
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.
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.
Methanol does not react with water.
The density of methanol is .7918g/cm3

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
The methanol is a base not a acid
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
methanol we can get formic acid
