Aqueous Methanol

Aqueous methanol is a liquid mixture consisting of methanol (a type of alcohol) dissolved in water. It is commonly used in laboratories and industry as a solvent to dissolve other substances, particularly in chemical reactions and cleaning processes. Its composition can vary, but it typically contains a certain percentage of methanol mixed with water to optimize properties like solvency, boiling point, and evaporation rate. Because of its volatile nature and ability to dissolve a wide range of materials, aqueous methanol is valuable in applications such as fuel, chromatography, and sterilization.
