Methanol is CH3OH, ethanol is CH3CH2OH.
Both are alcohols, ethanol has one carbon more (or a CH2 group more) and is less polar than methanol. Also ethanol has higher boiling point than methanol.

Are any what hydrogen bonds ethanol propanol butanol pentane methanol hexane?
Alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol etc can have hydrogen bonds.
Is sodium sulfate soluble in ethanol?
Sodium sulfate is practically insoluble in ethanol. But it adsorbs ethanol as well as methanol.
Is ethanol also known as methyl alcohol?
Methanol is known as methyl alcohol. Methanol's scientific name is where the "alcohol" variant name has come from. Essentially, alcohol and methanol is the same thing, however there are different types of alcohol.
What is difference between methanol and ethanol?
Methanol is CH3OH while ethanol is C2H5OH. The difference is CH2.
What is the chemical difference between methanol and ethanol?
Methanol have single carbon atom compound and ethanol have two carbon atoms.
Why methanol is added to ethanol?
To avoid misuse of ethanol for drinking purpose it is denatured with methanol.
Which one is used as antifreeze methanol or ethanol?
You can drink ethanol. If you drink methanol, even a small amount, you will go blind.
From ethanol and methanol which is more soluble in water?
Methanol
Why does methanol mix completely with ethanol?
Methanol and ethanol mix together well in part because they both have a low boiling point. Methanol and ethanol mixed together also metabolizes well.
What is used in alcohol- methanol or ethanol?
ethanol is used in alcohol

How does ethanol treat methanol poisoning?
Methanol isn't actually poisonous, but the chemicals produced when your body metabolises methanol are. The enzymes that metabolise methanol also metabolise ethanol, but when both are present the ethanol is processed first. Methanol is also removed from the body via the lungs, sweat glands and in urine. Giving ethanol prevents the toxic by products of metabolism whilst these other methods remove the methanol from their system. This treatment only works if given early. It does not reverse the the damage done by methanol that has already been metabolised.
Are any what hydrogen bonds ethanol propanol butanol pentane methanol hexane?
Alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol etc can have hydrogen bonds.
How do you remove methanol out of an ethanol mixture?
Methanol has a Boiling point under standard conditions of 64.7 °C, and ethanol of 78.4 °C. You I can boil off vapor and collect Methanol and Ethanol, and use that cooled back down to liquid form and preform a test.
