The ancient Egyptians used a chemical called Natron to embalm both the organs and the bodies of mummies. Natron is a naturally occurring salt that is very abundant in Africa, often found in dry lake beds.
Your question isn't really clear. Ancient Egyptians embalmed when somebody died. If you mean WHY did they embalm, they did it because they wanted to prepare the dead for the afterlife. If you mean HOW did they embalm, they cut the organs out of the body, but for the brains they stuck a red-hot poker up the nostrils of the dead, and pulled the brains out through the nostrils. The organs were taken and put in canopic jars, so the dead would have access to them in the afterlife. Hope I helped!

I assume you mean in ancient Egypt. Actually, they used salt, and let it sit.A variety of chemicals are used to embalm bodies to prevent decomposition. Most commonly formaldehyde, methanol and ethanol are used, along with some other solvents.In mummification the body was preserved using natron, a salt-like substance, and the organs were removed and some of them were placed in small jars.
Egyptians believed that the body would be needed in the next life, that the soul would need to get back in it. They needed a way to keep it from decomposing.

salt More specifically, natron, which is a salty ash-like mineral in dry lake and river beds. This, specifically, is what the ancient Egyptians used in their preservation of bodies and organs.
I could be wrong, but I don't think they did preserve the organs. They were removed from the corpse and placed im four jars, whose lids were moulded in the shape of the heads of the sons of Horus. The internal organs and brain contain so much water that preservation is a very difficult task.
