Question

What is the standard state of methanol?

Answer 1

The standard state is the phase you see for the substance at room temperature and pressure, `25^@ "C"`, and either `"1 atm"` or `"1 bar"`, depending on your textbook.

For methanol, it's a liquid under these conditions. Its boiling point is higher than `25^@ "C"`, and its melting point is negative.
