at normal atmospheric pressure methanol boils at around 67 degrees (C) and water boils at 100 degrees .. so I guess the easiest way would be by simply evaporating the methanol at a temperature around 80 degrees .. be careful though and take all the ness. safety precautions .. methanol is VERY poisonous and flammable .. so better do it in gas cabin or in an open room with good ventilation .. oh and do not heat the mixture directly .. you should heat it in a water bath .. all the best

Can a block of ashwood float in Methanol?
No, not any substance, but some, and here's why. Methanol has a density of 0.79g. If you put something in the methanol, say wood (oak), that weighs 0.89g, which is more, it will sink. It all depends on if it weighs more or less than the methanol. If it weighs more, it will sink, If it weighs less, it will float.
Why is methanol more polar than ethanol?
Methane is CH4 or H-CH3 Ethane is CH3-CH3 When compared to H- (in methane), the CH3- (methyl group in ethane) is more electron donating and hence ethane is more basic than methane.
What is the name of the colourless liquid from the gas when methanol is burned?
water (H20)
Does methanol lower the freezing point?
Methanol will freeze at negative 143 (Fahrenheit)/ negative 97 (Celsius). If it is added to water (freezing point of 32*F/0*C) then it will make the water freeze at a lower temperature. So yes, methanol will lower the freezing point of any liquid that freezes at a higher temperature than methanol. But methanol cannot lower the freezing point of any liquid that will still be liquid at -143*F/-97*C.
Why should sodium methoxide 25 percent in methanol be kept tightly closed when not in use?
Firstly, sodium methoxide is extremely toxic, so you want to handle it carefully without ever spilling (e.g. from an unsealed container). Secondly, methanol is hygroscopic and will pick up lots of water from the atmosphere. Water will hydrolyze sodium methoxide into methanol and sodium hydroxide. You wouldn't want your methanol to evaporate either.
How does methanol react with water?
Methanol does not react with water.
From ethanol and methanol which is more soluble in water?
Methanol
Why does methonal dissolve in methanol and not water?
There's no such thing as "methonal." There is "methanol," which easily dissolves into water.
Why is methanol more acidic than water?
Methanol is not acidic, it is not dissociable.
Is methanol soluble with water cyclohexane and alcohol?
Yes, methanol miscible.
Which is better coolant water or methanol?
Water.
What is the percent by volume of 25 ml of methanol in 75 ml of water?
With 25ml methanol and 75ml water, there is 100ml in total. So there is 25/100 = 25% by volume methanol.
Is sodium more soluble than methanol in water?
No. Sodium compounds do have a limit to their solubility in water. Methanol is water soluble in all proportions.
How do you get a 2.5 N NaOH solution in methanol?
It is same, instead of water take methanol...
Why does CH3OH not dissolve or mix with water?
CH3OH is the chemical formula for methanol. Methanol is miscible with water in ALL proportions. It DOES dissolve or mix with water.
Why does butanol heat water more than methanol?
Butanol is has less polarity than methanol
What happens if sodium methoxide 25 percent in methanol reacts with water?
The sodium methoxide reacts with the water to produce sodium hydroxide an methanol.
