CH3OH is neither an acid or a base, nor is it a salt. It is an alcohol, and even though it ends in OH, it does not dissociate in water. You can tell an alcohol by the hydrocarbon group CH3, making it an organic compound.

The balanced equation between ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) and methanol (CH3OH) to form methyl acetate (CH3COOCH3) is: CH3COOH + CH3OH -> CH3COOCH3 + H2O.


Is OCH3- a base?

Yes, OCH3- is a base. It belongs to the class of strong bases known as alkoxides, which are derived from alkali metals and alcohols. OCH3- can readily accept protons to form methanol (CH3OH) in a typical acid-base reaction.

What is the structural formula of c3h7cooh ch3oh-c3h7cooch3 hoh?

The structural formula of C3H7COOH is CH3CH2COOH (propionic acid). The structural formula of CH3OH-C3H7COOCH3 is CH3OH + CH3CH2COOCH3 (methyl propionate). H2O (water) is produced when these two compounds react together.
