Methane is part of a group of organic hydrocarbons called alkanes which have only one carbon atom per molecule CH4, whereas methanol belongs to the alcohol group with an OH, CH3OH. So although they are related in name with meth- only because they contain one Carbon atom in their structure they are two different molecules and have different properties.

What is the name of the colourless liquid from the gas when methanol is burned?
water (H20)
Is methanol a solid?
No, at room temperature methanol is a liquid.
How is Methanol produced?
Methanol is the simplest alcohol compound, comprised of one carbon atom, oneoxygen atom and fourhydrogen atoms (CH3OH). It is also referred to as wood alcohol, carbonyl and methyl alcohol.
What is the formula for methane hydroxide?
"Methane hydroxide" is not standard nomenclature. "Methanol" is the closest genuine compound I can imagine; the formula for that can be written as H3COH.
How does Methanol work?
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.
Is methane soluble in liquid nitrogen?
Generally speaking, methane gas can be "soluble" in liquid nitrogen if it was bubbled into it. Liquid nitrogen is cold enough to liquefy methane gas, and the liquid methane would then be miscible in the liquid nitrogen.
What is methanols physical state at room temp?
Methanol has a melting point of -97° C, or -143° F, and a boiling point of 65° C, or 148° F. With room temperature at 20° C (68° F), methanol is a liquid. However, with it's relatively low boiling, it evaporates quickly at room temperature.
Is methane a liquid or gas at 177 degrees celsius?
A gas
Is methane a gas solid or liquid?
beacuse it is becaiuse its called methane and starts with a M and ends with E :)
Does methanol have a greater density than methane?
yes, it has to because it has an OH group which participates in hydrogen bonding. this is why it stays in liquid phase at lower temperatures than methane.
What is the name of the colourless liquid from the gas when methanol is burned?
water (H20)
What molecule has the highest boiling point methane chloromethane or methanol?
methanol
What gas does an RC plane use?
nitro feul, a mix of castor oil (or synthetic) nitro methane and methanol
What is the color of liquid methane?
The methane that I know of is a gas with the molecular formula, CH4. It is colourless. Mostly found in wetlands / marshy areas. It can catch fire in presence of air.
Is CH4 a solid a liquid or a gas?
CH4 is a gas.CH4 stands for methane.
What is the state of ethanol at 25 degrees?
A gas under normal pressure. Methane has a boiling point of -1600C. It does depend on the pressure at extemely high pressures methane will be a liquid.
Which gas is used as cooking gas?
Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) and natural gas Methane (CH4).
