Is burning ethanol endothermic?

Exothermic on the forward reaction Endothermic on the backwards reaction Therefore the answer is both due to the burning of Methanol being a reversible reaction :D


Is methanol a solid?

No, at room temperature methanol is a liquid.


Why is heat generated when methanol dissolves in water?

If heat is generated during a chemical process, this indicates that it is an exothermic reaction.


Is CH4O a liquid at room temperature?

Methanol is a liquid at room temperature.


Why does methanol burn blue?

Due to the high temperature at which it burns


Will methanol melt ice?

It depends on the temperature of the methanol. If the methanol is warmer than 32F (0C) it will melt the ice until the methanol reaches 32. Methanol can be less than 32F and still liquid in which case it won't melt the ice. It's about heat transfer not material.


Is the melting point for methanol higher than silicon?

Since at normal room temperature methanol is a liquid and silicon is a solid, it should be fairly obvious that the answer is "no."

What type of bonding is found in methanol CH4Ol?

Methanol, CH3OH (CH4O) is a covalent molecular compound. It is liquid under normal conditions and there is hydrogen bonding between molecules


Does methanol lower the freezing point?

Methanol will freeze at negative 143 (Fahrenheit)/ negative 97 (Celsius). If it is added to water (freezing point of 32*F/0*C) then it will make the water freeze at a lower temperature. So yes, methanol will lower the freezing point of any liquid that freezes at a higher temperature than methanol. But methanol cannot lower the freezing point of any liquid that will still be liquid at -143*F/-97*C.


What temperature does methanol boil at high altitude?

How high is high? The boiling temperature depends on the pressure of the atmosphere above the liquid. The higher you go the lower is the atmospheric pressure, and so the boiling temperature. Methanol boils at 64.7°C (148.4°F) at 760mmHg, about sea level.


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.
