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 else can I help you with?
What is the name of the colourless liquid from the gas when methanol is burned?
The colorless liquid produced by burning methanol gas is water vapor. Methanol combustion produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
What is the name of the compound CH4OH?
The compound CH4OH is called methanol. It is a type of alcohol often used as a solvent or fuel source.
Is methanol a solid?
No, at room temperature methanol is a liquid.
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 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 are the key differences between methanol and methane in terms of their chemical properties and uses?
Methanol and methane are both simple organic compounds, but they have distinct differences in their chemical properties and uses. Methanol is a liquid alcohol with a chemical formula CH3OH, while methane is a gas with a chemical formula CH4. Methanol is commonly used as a solvent, fuel, and antifreeze, while methane is primarily used as a fuel for heating and electricity generation. Methanol is toxic if ingested, while methane is not toxic but can be flammable. Overall, methanol and methane have different chemical properties and applications despite their similar molecular structures.
What are the key differences between methane and methanol in terms of their chemical properties and applications?
Methane is a simple hydrocarbon gas with one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms, while methanol is a liquid alcohol with one carbon atom, three hydrogen atoms, and one hydroxyl group. Methane is mainly used as a fuel, while methanol is used as a solvent, antifreeze, and fuel additive. Methanol is also a precursor for chemicals like formaldehyde and acetic acid.
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.
What is the name of the colourless liquid from the gas when methanol is burned?
The colorless liquid produced by burning methanol gas is water vapor. Methanol combustion produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
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 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.
Is methane a liquid or gas at 177 degrees celsius?
A gas
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 molecule has the highest boiling point methane chloromethane or methanol?
Methanol has the highest boiling point among methane, chloromethane, and methanol. This is because methanol has stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) compared to methane (only dispersion forces) and chloromethane (dipole-dipole forces).
Is methane a gas solid or liquid?
beacuse it is becaiuse its called methane and starts with a M and ends with E :)
What gas does an RC plane use?
nitro feul, a mix of castor oil (or synthetic) nitro methane and methanol
Is CH4 a solid a liquid or a gas?
CH4 is a gas.CH4 stands for methane.
