How much methonal is needed to lower freezing point of fresh water?

To lower the freezing point of fresh water by 1 degree Celsius, you need to add 1.86 grams of methanol per kilogram of water. The exact amount will depend on the desired degree of freezing point depression and the quantity of water.

In alcohol dragsters the crew sprays something in the blower intake before staging what is it?

in our blown alcohol motors we squirt a mixture of gasoline, and methonal into the injector hat to aid in starting before the fuel pump kicks in. The methonal already runs cool, and if the humidity is too high the butterflies will actually freeze shut. Anything that will cool the intake. Most of the time Computer Spray cleaner is used. It drops the ambient temperature of the intake to around 65 degrees, thus allowing for a denser fuel/air mixture. This is illegal in most classes.


Is methonal a bromine?

No, methanol is not a bromine. Methanol is a type of alcohol compound with the chemical formula CH3OH, whereas bromine is a halogen element with the symbol Br. They are different substances with distinct chemical properties.

What is the mass in grams of 9.47 x 1024 molecules of methonal?

The simplest form of the molecular formula for methanol {note corrected spelling} is CH4O, and its gram molecular mass is 32.04. By definition therefore, a mass of Avogadro's Number of molecules contains 32.04 grams. Avogadro's Number is about 6.022 X 1023. Therefore, 9.47 X 1024 molecules of methanol contains [(9.47 X 1024)/(6.022 X 1023)]32.04 or 504 grams, to the justified number of significant digits.


What are the chemical properties of perfume?

Perfumes are composed of volatile compounds that evaporate easily to emit pleasant odors. These compounds interact with skin chemistry, giving each perfume a unique scent on different individuals. Perfume chemicals can be classified into top, middle, and base notes, which affect how long the scent lasts.
