What is the specific gravity of methanol?

A fuel, a solvent, a component of antifreeze, a feedstock in chemical industries

A pesticide, a cleaning agent, a substitute for water

What is the consequence of failing to control hazards associated with large quantity methanol?

It is flammable, toxic, and reactive with alkali metals and strong oxidants

How is the boiling point temperature of alcohols affected by the increase in number of carbon atoms in their molecules?

Methanol is inflammable and reacts with alkali metals

Methanol is toxic and reacts with oxidants

Methanol is polar and 100% miscible in water

What are methanol's properties that resemble that of water?

Pose hazards to life safety due to its flammability, toxicity, reactivity with alkali metals and strong oxidants

What are the consequences of mishandling methanol?

Increase in the production of methanol from gas versus other sources like coal, leading to a decrease in coal-to-methanol production, especially in China

Decrease in methanol production worldwide
