Aldehydes are characterised by the presence of carbonyl group > C = O in their molecules. Aldehydes contain group RCHO . It is formed by the oxidation of alcohol.
Formaldehyde is the first member of the aldehyde series. It is present in green leaves of plants where its presence is supposed to be due to the reaction of with water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
- It can be prepared by the following methods :
(i) By oxidation of methly alcohol : - The oxidation is done either by oxygen in presence of a catalyst like platinised asbestos or copper at or by acidified potassium dichromate.
(ii) By dehydrogenation of methyl alcohol : Vapours of methyl alcohol are passed over copper or silver at when hydrogen is eliminated with the formation of formaldehyde.
(iii) By heating calcium formate : Dry calcium formate is strongly heated to obtain formaldehyde.
Calcium formate Formaldehyde
(iv) By ozonolysis of ethylene : Ethylene is dissolved in an organic solvent such as chloroform or carbom tetrachloride and a stream of ozonised oxygen is passed. The ozonide formed is decomposed by passing hydrogen in presence of palladium as catalyst.
Which of the following are correct : (a) Vapours of methyl alcohol are passed over copper or silver at when hydrogen is eliminated with the formation of formaldehyde. (b) Aldehydes are characterised by the presence of carbonyl group > C = O in their molecules. (c) Dry calcium formate is strongly heated to obtain formaldehyde. | |||

A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
About Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
