it is used as a solvent.
The main reason for the difference in boiling points between methanal (formaldehyde) and ethanal (acetaldehyde) is the difference in molecular weight and size. Ethanal has a larger molecular size and weight compared to methanal, which leads to stronger intermolecular forces such as van der Waals forces, resulting in a higher boiling point for ethanal.
well based on my studies two compounds are produced, viz: ethanedial and methanal
This NOT an element, but an organic compound. CH2O is the empirical/molecular formula for methanal , formerly known as formaldehyde. Methanal is a member of the homologous series known as aldehydes. the chemical formula for aldehydes is ALWAYS written as XCHO. Hence for methanal it is HCHO NOT CH2O NB Note the 'A' in the name. NNB Ethanal formula is CH3CHO NNNB An element is a quantity/mass of the atom. Two or more atoms combined make a compound.
The chemical formula of ethanal (acetic aldehyde) is CH3CHO.
When methanal is treated with phenylhydrazine, it forms a yellow-orange crystalline compound called phenylhydrazone. This reaction is commonly used as a qualitative test for the presence of methanal in a sample.
I hope this helps you

Monohalogenation of methane, followed by Wurtz reaction.

First calculate the moles of methanal(formaldehyde) moles(HCHO)= 0.11 / (30; Mr of ethanal) = 0.0036666... Remember the Avogadro Number. (6.022 x 10^(23)) is the number of molecules/atoms in ONE mole . Hence in 0.0036666 moles there are 0.0036666... X 6.022 x 10(23) = 2.20806 x 10^(21) molecules in 0.11 g of methanal. NB ; In modern IUPAC chemical nomenclature formaldehyde is named as METHANAL. NNB Note the 'A' instead 'o' in the name, NNNB The aldehyde formula is written as HCHO ; ( Ethanal would be CH3CHO). The arrangement of the letters in the formula is XCHO Hope that helps!!!!

Methane is used as Fuel and in industries it is used to produce other chemicals such as hydrogen.
The IUPAC name for formaldehyde is methanal.
The chemical formula of ethanal (acetic aldehyde) is CH3CHO.
There are four hydrogen atoms in an ethanal molecule, CH3CHO.
Some other names for ethanal include acetaldehyde, acetic aldehyde, and ethyl aldehyde. Ethanal is actually the IUPAC name for the organic chemical compound acetaldehyde.
When methanal is treated with phenylhydrazine, it forms a yellow-orange crystalline compound called phenylhydrazone. This reaction is commonly used as a qualitative test for the presence of methanal in a sample.
