Formaldehyde has the formula CH2O. How many molecules are there in 0.11 g of formaldehyde?

First calculate the moles of methanal(formaldehyde) moles(HCHO)= 0.11 / (30; Mr of ethanal) = 0.0036666... Remember the Avogadro Number. (6.022 x 10^(23)) is the number of molecules/atoms in ONE mole . Hence in 0.0036666 moles there are 0.0036666... X 6.022 x 10(23) = 2.20806 x 10^(21) molecules in 0.11 g of methanal. NB ; In modern IUPAC chemical nomenclature formaldehyde is named as METHANAL. NNB Note the 'A' instead 'o' in the name, NNNB The aldehyde formula is written as HCHO ; ( Ethanal would be CH3CHO). The arrangement of the letters in the formula is XCHO Hope that helps!!!!


What element has a chemical formula of CH2O?

This NOT an element, but an organic compound. CH2O is the empirical/molecular formula for methanal , formerly known as formaldehyde. Methanal is a member of the homologous series known as aldehydes. the chemical formula for aldehydes is ALWAYS written as XCHO. Hence for methanal it is HCHO NOT CH2O NB Note the 'A' in the name. NNB Ethanal formula is CH3CHO NNNB An element is a quantity/mass of the atom. Two or more atoms combined make a compound.
