You can drink ethanol.
If you drink methanol, even a small amount, you will go blind.

How many carbon atoms are present in Ethanol?
Methanol has one carbon atom. Ethanol has two. ********************* Chemical formula of Ethanol: C2H5OH
What does the term fuel mean?
Flex fuel is a blend of gasoline and either ethanol or methanol. This combination of fuel is stored in one tank, just as traditional gas. An example of this fuel is E85, which is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.
After obtaining a mixture of ethanol and pure water from a mixture of ethanol and sea water through distillation which liquid will be collected first and last?
The liquid that boils at a lower temperature will become a gas first and this will be the first one that you collect. Water boils at 100 degrees C and methanol boils at 64.7 degrees C so you will collect methanol first and then water.
How do you use the standard enthalpies of formation to calculate the amount of heat released per kilogram of methanol?
Presumably we are talking combustion of methanol? Methanol burns to make water and carbon dioxide. The energy change from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen to carbon dioxide and water is the same if it is in one step, or via the intermediate step of making ethanol.
Is alcohol and ethanol the same?
In common terminology the term alcohol refers to ethanol. However, in chemistry ethanol is only one of many kinds of alcohol. Only ethanol (a.k.a. ethyl alcohol) is used in beverages.
Difference between methanol and ethanol?
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.
How many carbon atoms are present in Ethanol?
Methanol has one carbon atom. Ethanol has two. ********************* Chemical formula of Ethanol: C2H5OH
What happens if methanol enters the blood stream?
blindness is one outcome . but it can be treated by ethanol
How many carbon atoms are in the molecule ethanol?
There are four atoms of hydrogen in each molecule of methanol.
Can meths or methanol be used for fire pois?
Meths (a.k.a methanol or methyl alcohol) can be used for fire poi. Ethanol is more common than methanol, and alcohols in general are commonly used in fire dancing with other chemicals to produce colored flames. Read the Material Safety Data Sheet prior to using methanol (or any fuel). Inhaling vapors prior to and after combustion of fuels can be hazardous to your health. Fire Mecca's Safety page is a good source for some MSDSs, include one for methanol.

Why does methanol have a lower boiling point than ethanol?
Methanol and ethanol differ only by one carbon and 2 hydrogens. Both have the hydroxyl group and, thus, have hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions. What makes them different are their London forces (London forces are directly proportional to the number of electrons in a molecule and molecular size). Since methanol is smaller than ethanol, there is a smaller intermolecular London force. Less force holing the molecules together means they're easier to be pulled apart, which implies a lower boiling point.

Alcohol is a?
Alcohol such as ethanol, methanol, propanol etc. are one single compound. So, they are pure substances as pure substances are those materials that are composed of only one type of particle.
How many liters in one ton of methanol?
One liter of methanol is about 0.8 kg. One tonne of methanol is 1000 kg. Therefore one tonne pf methanol is about 1250 liters
