rapidly soluble in methanol , Acetonitrile and partially soluble water .
Acetonitrile is unlikely to be more toxic than methanol, as the latter is extremely toxic. Acetonitrile, also known as methyl cyanide, is quite unlike the poison "cyanide", because the poison is a salt of hydrocyanic acid and has free cyanide ions in solution. Acetonitrile has no free cyanide ions. The breakdown products of acetonitrile / methyl cyanide will be acetic acid and ammonia, which will form harmless ammonium acetate. In the short term, however, acetonitrile like any other organic solvent will have narcotic effects, causing dizziness and drowsiness, and the solvent could kill in large enough amounts.

methanol
Yes, methanol miscible.
Acetonitrile is slightly more polar than methanol. This is due to the presence of the C-N triple bond in acetonitrile (CH3CN).
Acetonitrile is a more polar molecule than methanol because of the triple bond and lone pair on the nitrogen (N) atom in acetonitrile. This makes that end of the molecule highly electronegative, even more so than an oxygen (O) atom containing two lone pairs in methanol.

In Acetonitrile carbon (EN-value on Pauling's scale is 2.5) of cyanide is attached with Nitrogen(EN-value on Pauling's scale is 3.0), so , Nitrogen atom with combination of carbon, that is more EN than Hydrogen(EN-value on Pauling's scale is 2.1) attached with oxygen atom (EN-value on Pauling's scale is 3.5) in methanol, becomes more Electron withdrawing effect than -OH group in methanol. In this way -CN is more dispersive than that of -OH.
The freezing point of methanol depends on its concentration in water.For example for 10% methanol by mass in water, the freezing point is -7 degree centigrade. For 100% methanol by mass, the freezing point is -98 degree centigrade.Refer to link below for more details.
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
The methanol is a base not a acid
