Write a reaction that shows what happens when methanol is treated with potassium hydroxide.
Answer:-The chemical reaction for methanol treated with potassium hydroxide is:
CH3OH + KOH = CH3O K+ + H2O
What is methanol?
Methanol is the simplest alcohol present. It is also called as methyl alcohol.
The reaction is
CH3OH + KOH CH3O K++ H₂O
The reaction of methanol also potassium hydroxide is an exothermic reaction. This produces potassium methanolate and water.
This does not produce hydrogen gas, which is very inflammable.
Therefore, the reaction is CH3OH + KOH CH3O K++ H2O
