Is sodium more soluble than methanol in water?

No. Sodium compounds do have a limit to their solubility in water. Methanol is water soluble in all proportions.


Why is methanol more polar than ethanol?

Methane is CH4 or H-CH3 Ethane is CH3-CH3 When compared to H- (in methane), the CH3- (methyl group in ethane) is more electron donating and hence ethane is more basic than methane.

What compound is more polar and soluble in water methane or methanol and why?

Acetonitrile is slightly more polar than methanol. This is due to the presence of the C-N triple bond in acetonitrile (CH3CN).

What is the pH of hydrocarbons?

pH is defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration; concentration is usually expressed in moles per liter. The liter component is nearly always the universal solvent, water. When you add most hydrocarbons to water, it does not mix; it's immiscible. No hydrogen ions are formed, and the pH of the original water remains unchanged. However, some types of hydrocarbons DO have a hydrogen ion component when mixed with water. For example, consider methanol - CH3OH. The hydorogen attached to the oxygen in the -OH portion of that molecule will occasionally become unattached when methanol is mixed with water, giving methanol a SLIGHTLY more acidic characteristic than pure water. Thus, the more available one or more hydrogen ions are in the hydrocarbon you are considering, the lower the pH. Note, though, that the number of hydrogens in a molecule does not mean that they are all available. Hexane, C6H6, is less acidic than our methanol example, because the hydrogens are less available.


Is BaCO3 barium carbonate more soluble in an acidic solution or pure water?

BaCO3 would be more soluble in an acidic solution than in the water


Can a block of ashwood float in Methanol?

No, not any substance, but some, and here's why. Methanol has a density of 0.79g. If you put something in the methanol, say wood (oak), that weighs 0.89g, which is more, it will sink. It all depends on if it weighs more or less than the methanol. If it weighs more, it will sink, If it weighs less, it will float.
