What is the pH of ethyl alcohol?

Answer 1

pH is generally taken to refer to aqueous solutions. The concept can be extended to other liquids. Pure dry methanol will dissociate:

CH3OH <-> CH3O- + H+

What is difficult to find is the pKa of the equilibrium.

In aqueous solution methanol has a reported pKA of 15.5. this indicates negligible dissociation- and essentially no effect on pH of water in the case of dilute solutions.

Answer 2

Add 3ml of saturated KCl to 100 ml of methanol:Water mixture and then take the pH by using glass electrode.

Answer 3

Water is more polar because of the Hydrogen bonding

Answer 4

Gasses do not have pH.

To have pH something must be in a water solution.

Answer 5

The pH of ethyl alcohol is generally around 7, which is considered neutral. However, the exact pH can vary depending on the purity of the alcohol and any impurities present.

Answer 6

Methane gas hasn't pH.
