What are the primary sources of acetic acid and how are they obtained?

The primary sources of acetic acid are ethanol and methanol. Ethanol is typically obtained from fermentation of sugars in fruits or grains, while methanol is usually produced from natural gas or biomass. Acetic acid is then produced through a chemical process called oxidation of ethanol or methanol.


How was methanol discovered?

Methanol was discovered by distilling boxwood (also known as the wood of the box tree) by John Hevelius in 1661. He called it "spirit of box." Later, methanol was also produced by the destructive distillation of wood.

What is the compound formed after plunging a heated copper wire into a methanol?

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.

How does ethanol treat methanol poisoning?

Methanol isn't actually poisonous, but the chemicals produced when your body metabolises methanol are. The enzymes that metabolise methanol also metabolise ethanol, but when both are present the ethanol is processed first. Methanol is also removed from the body via the lungs, sweat glands and in urine. Giving ethanol prevents the toxic by products of metabolism whilst these other methods remove the methanol from their system. This treatment only works if given early. It does not reverse the the damage done by methanol that has already been metabolised.
