Answer 1

Hii Mate here is ur answer....

1.Methanol is a poisonous chemical derived through synthetic processes, while commercial ethanol is produced by factory fermentation of food crops. Both substances can be used as energy sources, but methanol serves mainly as a subject of research and its use as a motor fuel in the U.S. has been largely phased out.

2.Etanol and propanol can be distinguished by iodoform test. in this case only ethanol gives this test as it contains an CHOH group whereas propanol does not contain it. also iodoform test distinguishes between primary and secondary alcohols from three carbons
