Does methanol react with acetic acid?

Yes it does. It produces methyl acetate and water.


Balanced equation for methanol and water?

Methanol and water do not react they just form a very stable solution.


Would the alkoxide form if an hydroxide was dissolved in methanol?

No. Alkoxide ions are stronger bases than hydroxide ions. The only way of making an alkoxide is by reacting a hihgly reactive metal such as sodium with the corresponding alcohol (react sodium with methanol to produce sodium methoxide). In water sodium methoxide will react to produce sodium hydroxide and methanol.


Is water heavier than methanol?

No, water is heavier than methanol. Water has a higher density compared to methanol, which means that for the same volume, water will weigh more than methanol.


Why does methanol show an exothermic reaction with water at room temperature while it gives an endothermic reaction with water in cold conditions?

Methanol can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, leading to an exothermic reaction due to the release of energy when the bonds are formed. In colder conditions, the stronger hydrogen bonds between water molecules dominate, requiring energy to break these bonds to accommodate methanol molecules, resulting in an endothermic reaction.


What is the specific gravity of a methanol-water mixture?

The specific gravity of a methanol-water mixture depends on the ratio of methanol to water. Generally, a mixture with more methanol will have a lower specific gravity than pure water.


Is methanol lighter than water?

Yes, methanol is lighter than water. Methanol has a lower density compared to water, which means it will float on top of water.


Why does methonal dissolve in methanol and not water?

There's no such thing as "methonal." There is "methanol," which easily dissolves into water.


Is methanol soluble with water cyclohexane and alcohol?

Yes, methanol miscible.


Methanol CH3OH would act like NaCl or like glucose?

Methanol, glucose and sodium chloride are very different compounds and they react different.


Is methanol part of an aqueous solution?

There can be an aqueous solution with methanol in it. Methanol is a pure substance, so if not mixed with other substances it is a compound.
