Answer: carbonyl group C=O

Explanation:

Formaldehyde is an organic compound, it is the simplest form of Aldehydes. It formula is CH2O and has a carbonyl functional group, C=O. The general formula for adehydes is R-COH. The carbon atom is bonded to oxygen with a double bond and one of the two remaining bonds is occupied by hydrogen, and the other by an alkyl group.

One of the properties of adehydes is their solubility in water. The lower members (up to 4 carbons) of aldehydes are soluble in water due to H-bonding. Ofcourse the the higher members are not soluble in water because their hydrophobic long chains.

Aldehydes contain carbonyl group, therefore they undergo reactions like nucleophilic addition reactions, oxidation, reduction, halogenation.

What kind of properties can only be observed when a substance changes into a different substance?
Shkiper50 [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3><h2>Chemical properties</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

By its very definition, a chemical property is one which is exhibited as a result of a chemical reaction. This may happen during or after the reaction. This is because in a chemical reaction there is a transformation in the physical composition of the components and this directly affects its chemical properties.

What is the equilibrium equation for the dissociation of formic acid in water? hcooh (aq) + h2o (l) ⇌ h3o+ (aq) + hcoo- (aq)?
Pani-rosa [81]
Formic acid when in water would dissociate into ions just like any acids. It would dissociate into the hydrogen ion and the formate ion. The equilibrium dissociation equation would be written as:

<span>HCOOH (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ H+ (aq) + HCOO- (aq)

Formic acid is a weak acid which means that when in aqueous solution it does not completely dissociate into its corresponding ions. Only a certain amount that would be dissociated so in the solution there will be HCOOH, HCOO- and H+ molecules. It is also known as Methanoic acid and an important substance for the synthesis of a number of substances. It is naturally occurring in ants.</span>
