Formic acid is an organic compound with a chemical formula of HCOOH and a molecular weight of 46.03. It is commonly known as formic acid and is the simplest carboxylic acid.

ApplicationsFormic acid, commonly known as formic acid, is the simplest organic carboxylic acid. Compared with other organic acids, its molecules contain both carboxyl and aldehyde groups. Therefore, formic acid has the properties of both acid and aldehyde. As an important chemical raw material, for

1.Background and OverviewFormic acid is the simplest organic acid, a small amount of which exists in ants and bees, so it is also called "formic acid". The molecular formula is HCOOH. It is a colorless, transparent and irritating liquid, which is easily soluble in water, alcohol and ether. With stro

Physical properties of formic acidIt can be freely miscible with water, ethanol, ether and glycerol, and most polar organic solvents. It also has certain solubility in hydrocarbons.

Formic acid, its vapor and air can form explosive mixture, in case of open fire, high heat energy causes combustion explosion. A chemical reaction may occur on contact with a strong oxidant. It is highly corrosive. So, formic acid after leakage, how should we go to dispose of it?
