Answer 1
Formaldehyde is another name for methanal, the smallest aldehyde; its molecular formula is H2CO. It is toxic, and is a gas at room temperature.
Answer 2
Formaldehyde is an organic compound that exists naturally. It's chemical formula is CH2O. For more information, look at the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) fact sheet.

removal of the eyes gives my heart a saddened chill
I preserve them in formaldehyde
to gaze upon at will
how their greenish flecks befill me
that starlit winters night
how I lost all that I ever was
while locked within their sight
before you sits a broken man
your fragile pinkish heart in hand
peculiar how it can hurt so bad
while love is only in the mind
I sew the gaping chestwork
each thread is made with love
the bosom where I would rest my face
is covered in your blood
no
this is not the end
you'll live on eternally
oh
lord its not the end
my secret you'll forever be
I interrupt this transformation
a familiar lust swelling in me
a long and soulful kiss
the shades are drawn the living world cant see
the coil of entrails
how curious the smell
so pungent to my eager nostrils
hands further compelled
no
no its not the end
forever you'll be in my arms
I could never let you go
my darling cold and blue
I wonder are you dreaming still
spread eagle blood removed
I weave the sucking trocar
beneath your bruising skin
tonight I'll lay beside you darling in necromantic sin
pinned to the bed sheets like a prized butterfly
you're mine
I hear your voice so precious echoing deeply inside
I did my best to love you
while you did live and breathe
this tender taxidermy
trophy of the bereaved
that should help

∙ 12y agoAs a preservative, for e.g. in the use of cadavers in Medical Sciences, this allows the bodies to remain relatively well preserved for a short amount of time, this prevents tissue deterioration (and the smell that is often given off) and means that the body is relatively aseptic so will not pass on any infections.

What is the IUPAC name of the simplest alcohol?
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is the simplest aldehyde. It is also known as methanal (NOT methanol) or paraform.
What is the composition of formalin?
Formalin is a saturated solution of formaldehyde, water, and typically another agent, most commonly methanol. In its typical form, formalin is 37% formaldehyde by weight (40% by volume), 6-13% methanol, and the rest water.
What is the role of methanol in the extraction of chlorophyll?
serves as catalyst
What is difference between formaldehyde and formalin?
They are essentially the same thing. Formalin is the histologist's term for a solution of formaldehyde stabilized with a small percentage of methanol. In fact any aqueous solution of formaldehyde probably contains trace MeOH. Such solutions would make effective (but very messy) surface disinfectants. Formaldehyde is probably used more often to disinfect equipment in a fumigation-type process, where a closed space is filled with formaldehyde vapor. I think this is done by heat-sublimation of solid para-formaldehyde.
How is methanol different from methanal?
Methanol is an alcohol with the formula CH3OH often simplified to COH4. Its structure consists of a carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms and a hydroxy (OH) group. Methanal, more commonly called formaldehyde, is an aldehyde with the formula CH2O. It consists of a carbon atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms and double-bonded to an oxygen atom.
What is the mixture of formaldehyde methanol and ethanol?
bastet

What molecules would be expected to form hydrogen bonds in the liquid or solid state ethylene glycol methanol and formaldehyde?
ethylene glycol and methanol
How to get ethanol form methanol?
This would never actually be done since both are readily available, but you could oxidise methanol to formaldehyde, treat with MeLi or MeMgBr and workup with acid.
Incomplete combustion of methane?
... will also result in formation of carbon monoxide, formaldehyde (methanal), methanol, carbon black.
What are hydrocarbons used for?
fuel and to obtain other organic compounds such as methanol, ethanol, carbon black, chloroform, formaldehyde.
Does the body make formaldehyde from alcohol?
No, not the kind of alcohol that you drink. Your body metabolizes drinking alcohol (ethanol) through a series of steps, one of which is acetylaldehyde, a chemical related to formaldehyde. However, the body metabolizes methanol, another kind of alcohol, into formaldehyde.
Why do you use ethanol in intravenous infusion form to treat methanol intoxication?
The liver metabolizes the ethanol into acetaldehyde in preference to metabolizing the methanol. That slows the buildup of formaldehyde -- with luck, enough to prevent it from building to a lethal level.
Is embalming fluid used in marijuana?
Only if its being sold as WET, which mean weed dipped in formaldehyde, or embalming fluid (Which is formaldehyde, methanol, ethanol and other solvents). It dangerous and deadly which weed would otherwise be neither.
How does the body convert methanol to formaldehyde?
methanol gets converted to formaldehyde in the liver by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase. This is an oxidative reaction requiring the cofactor NAD+ which gets converted (reduced) to NADH. The reaction can also occur without alcohol dehydrogenase in microsome of a cell. In this case cytochrome P4502E1 is the enzyme and the redox agent is NADPH which gets converted (oxidized) to NADP.
