Physicochemical Properties:
Solid Sodium Methylate is a white, flowing powder which is amorphous. It is easy to react with oxygen, and it will be decomposed into methanol and sodium hydroxide when being exposed to humid environment or water. It decomposes when the temperature is higher than 126℃ in air. It is dissolvable in methanol and ethanol, but not in benzene and toluene.
