We produce formaldehyde for medicinal purposes and synthesizing polyester.

Formaldehyde is a compound that is required in about 1.5 ounces in quantity as a normal part of our metabolism.

Also formaldehyde is used as a catalyst in the formation for the synthesis of many polyesters.

Formaldehyde also has many uses such as fungicide, germicide, disinfectant and as a preservative in mortuaries as well as important chemical in medical Laboratories.

In everyday items press fabric paints coating and paper base products also includes formaldehyde.

How could you verify that you produced carbon dioxide in your combustion reaction? 2. what indication did you have that nh3 was
DanielleElmas [232]

1) Carbon dioxide is a gas, so when CO_{2} is evolved in the reaction, it appears as bubbles. The gas released extinguishes the fire and it can turn lime water milky.

Ca(OH)_{2} (aq) + CO_{2}(g) ----> CaCO_{3}(s) +H_{2}O(l)

2) When NH_{3} is released in a decomposition reaction we can identify by the strong pungent smell of the gas released.

3) Saturated citric acid can cause corrosion of the metal layers present in the pipes. So, before draining out any acid it is neutralized so that the pipes and other plumbing works do not get damaged leading to leaks in the drainage system.

There are 3 different possible structures (known as isomers) for a dibromoethene molecule, C2H2Br2. One of them has no net dipol
nevsk [136]

Explanation:

Compounds having same molecular formula but different structural and spatial arrangement are isomers.

Three isomers are possible for dibromomethene.

In one structure (IUPAC name: 1,1-dibromomethene), both the bromine atoms are attached to one carbon atom.

In another two structures (Cis and trans), two bromine atoms are attached to two different carbon atoms.

In Cis 1,2-dibromomethene, two bromine atoms are present on the same side.

Whereas in Cis 1,2-dibromomethene, two bromine atoms are present on the opposite side and hence, does not have net dipole moment.
