Sodium iodide is ionic and formaldehyde is polar. Water, being a polar molecule will readily dissolve both. Benzene is nonpolar so it will not readily dissolve polar or ionic substances.

Is CH2O not soluble in water?

yes it is becasue water is a polar molecule and therefore, can only disolve another polar molecule such as ch2o


What types of aldehydes and ketones would you expect to be water-soluble?

Small aldehydes and ketones (those with fewer than 5 carbons) are generally water-soluble due to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Examples include formaldehyde (CH2O), acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), acetone (CH3COCH3), and propanal (CH3CH2CHO).


Does the compounds C2H2 and C6H6 have the same percent composition by mass?

It does not necessarily mean that. For example glucose (C6H12O6) and formaldehyde (CH2O) have the same percentages of elements by mass, but are two very difference compounds.


What is the formula for CH2O?

C2h4o2 is the molecular formula for CH2O.


What is the difference between organic and inorganic substances?

It's arbitrary (and some chemicals are classed as both);but in general organic contains carbon molecules and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds.Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions).


What do empirical formulas determine?

Empirical formulas determine the ratio of atoms of different elements within a chemical compound and can be derived by dividing the number of each element's atoms by their greatest common factor. They do not necessarily describe the full chemical makeup of a molecule. For example, benzene has the formula C6H6 but its empirical formula is simply CH because there is one hydrogen atom for every carbon atom. Glucose has the molecular formula of C6H12O6; its empirical formula is CH2O. Because the molecular formula for water, H2O, cannot be further simplified (empirical formulas have only whole numbers) H20 is also its empirical formula.


What is molecular formula of formalin?

A 37% aqueous (water) solution of formaldehyde. The molecular formula of water is H2O and of formaldehyde is CH2O.


Is CH2O an acid?

No. CH2O is formaldehyde, which is not an acid.


Is ch2o a compounf?

Yes. CH2O is the molecular formula of formaldehyde, the smallest aldehyde.


What is the mass of 4.55 moles of CH2O?

To calculate the mass of 4.55 moles of CH2O, you need to multiply the molar mass of CH2O by the number of moles. The molar mass of CH2O is approximately 30.03 g/mol. Therefore, the mass of 4.55 moles of CH2O is 136.665 g.


CO2 plus H2O plus light energy -- and gt CH2O plus O2 In the given chemical process above what does CH2O represent?

In the given chemical process, CH2O represents formaldehyde, which is a simple organic compound. This equation illustrates the process of photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are converted into glucose (represented here as CH2O) and oxygen (O2) using light energy. Although CH2O specifically denotes formaldehyde, it is often used generically to represent carbohydrates produced during photosynthesis.
