I am not aware of any direct way of producing methanol from methane. The only two ways I know that you can make methanol is by reacting carbon monoxide with hydrogen or by the pyrolysis of wood. Almost all the methanol made today is produced by the Syngas method. In it, methane is converted to carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which are then formed into methanol. Researchers are working on a catalyst to directly convert methane to methanol, which is done by inserting one oxygen atom into a methane molecule, between the carbon atom and a hydrogen atom. Their biggest problem right now is the most efficient catalysts work at temperatures high enough to ignite methanol.
Methanol is an alcohol and consists of carbon,hydrogen and oxygen its formula is CH3OH
No, at room temperature methanol is a liquid.
It depends on the temperature of the methanol. If the methanol is warmer than 32F (0C) it will melt the ice until the methanol reaches 32. Methanol can be less than 32F and still liquid in which case it won't melt the ice. It's about heat transfer not material.
It depends on what you added to the methanol before you put the heated copper wire into the methanol. The heated copper wire acted as a catalyst to speed up the reaction between the methanol and the other substance. Copper itself does not react with methanol.
Ethanol containing some methanol is called adulterated ethanol. Methanol is a toxic compound that can have harmful effects if consumed in high quantities. Industries or individuals may add methanol to ethanol for various reasons, but it is illegal and dangerous due to the health risks associated with methanol consumption.
Yes, methanol is a weak acid.
The solubility of hexane in methanol is low because hexane is a nonpolar molecule and methanol is a polar solvent. This means that hexane does not mix well with methanol.
Methanol is miscible with water, which means it can mix in any proportion. When methanol is added to water, it forms a homogenous solution due to hydrogen bonding interactions between the methanol and water molecules. This allows methanol to dissolve easily in water.
methanol CHO
Yes, methanol is acidic in nature.
Methanol is a neutral compound and is neither classified as an acid nor a base.

You can separate a mixture of acetone and methanol through fractional distillation. Both compounds have different boiling points (acetone: 56°C, methanol: 65°C) allowing for separation based on their boiling points. By heating the mixture and collecting the vapors at their respective boiling points, you can separate acetone and methanol into individual fractions.
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.
One liter of methanol is about 0.8 kg. One tonne of methanol is 1000 kg. Therefore one tonne pf methanol is about 1250 liters
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.
methanol and diesel dont mix
