Alcohol CH3OH

ACYCLIC SATURATED ALCOHOLS 3.2.1. Methyl alcohol CH3OH General information [Pg.474]

Like the first alcohol, methyl alcohol (methanol) CH3OH enjoys great industrial importance the annual world production is about 15 million metric tons. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of methacrylates, and enters into the formulation of gasoline. [Pg.474]

At room temperature, it has no action on aluminium. In methyl alcohol of technical purity, the decrease in thickness is below 0.1 mm per year. The resistance in mixtures of methyl alcohol and water depends on the proportion of alcohol, and the dissolution rate increases with temperature (Table F.3.1). The results are the same irrespective of whether the samples are completely immersed in the alcohol, partially immersed or exposed to the vapour. [Pg.475]

The action of methyl alcohol depends on its additives or impurities [3]. As an example, the presence of formaldehyde, up to 2%, does not modify the behaviour of aluminium in contact with methyl alcohol however, the presence of up to 1% formic acid leads to a superficial attack on the order of 30 pm per year. [Pg.475]

The addition of methyl alcohol to classic gasoline for engines can modify the resistance of aluminium, if water, chlorides or formic acid are present pitting corrosion may occur [4-6]. [Pg.475]

Methyl alcohol, CH3OH, is the lowest member of the paraffin alcohols, and although it occurs to a small extent in the free state in a few essential oils it is not a perfume material at all, and, being very soluble in water, is entirely washed out of the oil by the distillation waters. There are, however, a number of highly odorous esters of methyl alcohol which are indispensable in synthetic perfumery. These are as follows —... [Pg.162]

Methyl alcohol can be used as a fuel instead of, or combined with, gasoline. A sample of methyl alcohol, CH3OH, in a flask of constant volume exerts a pressure of254 mm Hg at 57°C. The flask is slowly cooled. [Pg.253]

WEB Methyl alcohol, CH3OH, has a normal boiling point of 64.7°C and has a vapor pressure of203 mm Hg at 35°C. Estimate... [Pg.253]

Carbon monoxide and hydrogen can react under different conditions to give different products. One system produces methyl alcohol, CH3OH(g), when CO and H2 react in the presence of a suitable catalyst... [Pg.344]

It has been proposed that wood alcohol, CH3OH, a relatively inexpensive fuel to produce, be decomposed to produce methane. Methane is a natural gas commonly used for heating homes. Is foe decomposition of wood... [Pg.474]

Compounds containing oxygen linked to a carbon and a hydrogen atom are termed alcohols. Simple examples are methyl and ethyl alcohol, CH3OH and C2H5OH, respectively. Reactions of alcohols are characterized by the replacement of either the OH hydrogen atom or the entire OH group ... [Pg.37]

A 5.2 molal aqueous solution of methyl alcohol, CH3OH, is supplied. What is the mole fraction of methyl alcohol in this solution ... [Pg.190]

The functional group of an alcohol is the hydroxyl (—OH) group. Therefore, an alcohol has the general formula ROH. The simplest and most common alcohols are methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and ethyl alcohol (CH3CH2OH). [Pg.73]
