Best Answer

Methanal, more commonly known as formaldehyde, is an organic compound with the formula CH2O. It was used for years to preserve deceased biological specimens before it was deiscovered to be carcinogenic.

In alcohol dragsters the crew sprays something in the blower intake before staging what is it?

in our blown alcohol motors we squirt a mixture of gasoline, and methonal into the injector hat to aid in starting before the fuel pump kicks in. The methonal already runs cool, and if the humidity is too high the butterflies will actually freeze shut. Anything that will cool the intake. Most of the time Computer Spray cleaner is used. It drops the ambient temperature of the intake to around 65 degrees, thus allowing for a denser fuel/air mixture. This is illegal in most classes.


What is the mass in grams of 9.47 x 1024 molecules of methonal?

The simplest form of the molecular formula for methanol {note corrected spelling} is CH4O, and its gram molecular mass is 32.04. By definition therefore, a mass of Avogadro's Number of molecules contains 32.04 grams. Avogadro's Number is about 6.022 X 1023. Therefore, 9.47 X 1024 molecules of methanol contains [(9.47 X 1024)/(6.022 X 1023)]32.04 or 504 grams, to the justified number of significant digits.


What are the chemical properties of perfume?

perfume usually consists of ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol or pure alcohol <most common) and essential oils. There can be hundreds of ingredients in a single perfume. Plants have long been used in perfumery as a source of essential oils and aroma compounds. These aromatics are usually secondary metabolites produced by plants as protection against herbivores, infections, as well as to attract pollinators. Plants are by far the largest source of fragrant compounds used in perfumery. Animal products are often used such as Ambergris: lumps of oxidized fatty compounds, whose precursors were secreted and expelled by the Sperm Whale. Ambergris is commonly referred to as "amber" in perfumery and should not be confused with yellow amber, which is used in jewelry. Castoreum: Obtained from the odorous sacs of the North American beaver. Civet: Also called Civet Musk, this is obtained from the odorous sacs of the civets, animals in the family Viverridae, related to the Mongoose. The World Society for the Protection of Animals investigated African civets caught for this purpose. Honeycomb: From the honeycomb of the Honeybee. Both beeswax and honey can be solvent extracted to produce an absolute. Beeswax is extracted with ethanol and the ethanol evaporated to produce beeswax absolute. Musk: Originally derived from the musk sacs from the Asian musk deer, it has now been replaced by the use of synthetic musks which usually are called "white musk". There are also synthetic products used today to avoid high costs and animal cruelty as well as extinction.
