What is HCHO?
Formaldehyde
What is the name of the compound HCHO?
HCHO is the chemical formula of formaldehyde.
What is formula formaldehyde?
Formeldehyde is a substance used to preserve dead bodies.
Is HCHO a formic acid?
No, CH2O is formaldehyde and is not formic acid. HCOOH is formic acid. The key to the answer is that formaldehyde has only one oxygen but formic acid has two in its carboxylate group.
