Why would someone test electrical conductivity with a solution containing both methanol and water?

Methanol can help increase the solubility of certain compounds compared to water alone. Testing conductivity in a mixture of methanol and water can help determine the presence of ions or charged particles in the solution, as both methanol and water can facilitate the movement of ions and enhance conductivity.


Does all gas contain methanol?

Not all gasolines contain methanol. Methanol is an oxygenate and is distilled. When Methanol is used all Major Manufacturers discourage mixtures above 10%. The other Oxygenates used are: Ethanol which is produced by fermentation and when used the Major manufaturers discourage a mix greater than 10%. Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) which is also a distilled product and when used The Major manufacturers discourage a mix of more than 15%. in many states these are only used during the winter months but there are some moajor metropolitian areas in the US that mandate that only oxygenated fules can be sold year round.

How much methanol needed to make 100 ppm solution in 100ml water?

To make a 100 ppm solution of methanol in 100 mL of water, you would need 10 mg of methanol. This is because 100 ppm is equivalent to 100 mg/L, and since you have 100 mL of water, you would need 10 mg of methanol (100 mg/L x 0.1 L).

How much volume of ethanol and methanol can be used to mix to make cm of mentholated spirit and thereafter?

To create mentholated spirit, a mix of ethanol and methanol can be used in a ratio of 3:1. For example, to make 1 liter of mentholated spirit, you would mix 750 ml of ethanol and 250 ml of methanol. It's important to handle methanol with caution as it is toxic to humans.
