neither, Formic acid does not completely dissociate in water so it is a weak acid.

Is HCOOH a base?
HCOOH is an acid.
What is chemical formula of methanoic acid?
methanoic acid = HCOOH sodium hydroxide = NaOH The equation for the reaction is as follows: methanoic acid + sodium hydroxide -> sodium methanoate + water HCOOH + NaOH -> NaCOOH + H2O
What is the difference between HCl and HCOOH?
HCl is a strong acid-it completely dissociates in water, leaving you with Cl- ions and H+ ions. HCOOH is a weak acid. When it is in water, it partly dissociates, leaving some H+ and COOH- ions, but partly holds together as HCOOH molecules.
Is CH3CH2OH a strong acid?
Definitely NOT a STRONG ACID. #However it will act as a weak base when react with an orgsnic acid. to produc the corresponding salt and water. e.g. Methanoic Acid + Ethanol = Ethylmethanoate + water HCOOH + CH3CH2OH HCOOCH2CH3 + H2O
What strong acid and strong base produce sodium sulfate?
Sodium hydroxide (strong base) and Sulphuric acid (strong acid)
Is HCOOH a base?
HCOOH is an acid.
What is chemical formula of methanoic acid?
methanoic acid = HCOOH sodium hydroxide = NaOH The equation for the reaction is as follows: methanoic acid + sodium hydroxide -> sodium methanoate + water HCOOH + NaOH -> NaCOOH + H2O
How you can identify salt as electrolyte or non electrolyte?
I don't think you will find many non-electrolytic salts. Salts are formed by Acid-Base neutralization reaction. There are four possible types of reactants involved based on their dissociation strengths. i.e. 1.Strong acid and Strong base (Eg HCl and NaOH) 2. Strong acid and weak base (Eg HCl and NH4OH) 3. Weak acid and strong base (Eg HCOOH and NaOH) 4. Both weak acid and base (Eg HCOOH and NH4OH) In all the cases, neutralization takes place to form salts. And surprisingly, the salts formed i.e., NaCl, NH4Cl,HCOO-Na and H-COO-NH4 respectively, irrespective of the strengths of the reactants are found to be strong electrolytes.

What is the atomic mass of HCOOH(formic acid)?
The molar (not atomic) mass of HCOOH (formic acid) is 46,03 g.

What strong acid and strong base produce sodium sulfate?
Sodium hydroxide (strong base) and Sulphuric acid (strong acid)
What is formed when a strong acid with a strong base?
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
What is formed when strong acid combines with a strong base?
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
Is HCHO2 a strong acid or base?
It is a strong acid
Will the solution at the end point of an acidbase titration be acidic neutral or alkaline if it is a weak acid and strong base?
alkaline obviously! strong acid + strong base= neutral strong acid + weak base= acidic weak acid + strong base= alkaline
Is Calcium perchlorate acid or base?
Neither, because it a salt of strong base(Calcium) and strong acid(Chloric acid)
