Antiseptic solution

In this group, atleast one hydrigen atom is bonded to the carbon in the carbonyl group

Aldehyde

The simplest aldehyde

Formaldehyde

Used as a preservative for various types of specimens in laboratories

Formaldehyde

Prepared and stored in an aqueous solution in which is usually accompanied with an unpleasant smell

Formaldehyde

It is produced by partial oxidation of ethanol by the liver enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase that may be a contributing factor to the hangovers from alcohol consumption

Ethanaldehyde or Acetaldehyde

In the group, the carbon atom in the carbonyl group is bonded to two hydrocarbon groups

Formic acid

The combination of this acid and water results to vinegar.

Acetic acid

is present in vomitus which is responsible for its distinctive smell

Butyric acid

It is used as a food flavoring agent in butter, milk, strawberry, beer, nuts and other flavors

Caproic Acid

Mainly used in the production of detergents and soapand other cosmetics such as the shampoo and shaving cream.

Stearic Acid

Are produced by the reaction of acids with alcohols
