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.
Is ch2o a Lewis acid or base?
Covalent compound.
Which compound has the empirical formula ch2o?
CH2O is not only the empirical but also the molecular formula for formaldehye. It is also the empirical but not the molecular formula for hydroxyacetaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl formate, 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, and many other compounds.
What formaldehyde CH2O and acetic acid C2H4O2 have the same empirical formula but different?
Empirical formula is a useless notion; important is the molecular formula.
What is empirical formula of acetic acid (CH3COOH)?
This is an empirical formula - a formula without indication about the structure of the molecule.

Is ch2o a Lewis acid or base?
Covalent compound.
Is formaldehyde CH2O and acetic acid C2H4O2 have the same empirical formula but different?
The empirical formula is similar.
Which compound has the empirical formula ch2o?
CH2O is not only the empirical but also the molecular formula for formaldehye. It is also the empirical but not the molecular formula for hydroxyacetaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl formate, 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, and many other compounds.
What is an organic compound with a ratio of one carbon compound to two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom?
There are numerous compounds with this ratio. The simplest of them is formaldehyde with the formula CH2O. More complex molecules with more atoms but the same ratio include acetic acid (C2H4O2), lactic acid (C3H6O3), and glucose and its isomers (C6H12O6).
What is the formula for CH2O?
C2h4o2 is the molecular formula for CH2O.
What is an example of the emprical formula?
There is not enough information to answer the question

The simplest possible formula that illustrates the proportion of elements in monosaccharides is what?
Ch2o
Is ch2o a compounf?
Yes. CH2O is the molecular formula of formaldehyde, the smallest aldehyde.
What is the empirical formula of lactic acid?
C6H12O6 --> 2C3H6O3+2ATP Sugar (glucose) → Lactic Acid + Carbon Dioxide + Energy (ATP) or Pyruvic acid + NADH → Lactic acid + NAD+
