Formic acid (HCOOH - methanoic acid) also gives a positive Fehling's test result. This is because it is readily oxidizable to carbon dioxide and water.

chemistry
The molar (not atomic) mass of HCOOH (formic acid) is 46,03 g.
YES
No, Fehling's Test will have no reaction with Formic Acid HCOOH + 2CuSO4 + 4NaOh ---> no Reaction
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
The Schiff reagent is a product of Fuchsine or Pararosaniline. The Schiff reagent is used to test for aldehydes. Benzaldehyde is added to the decolorized Schiff reagent and a purple/magenta color appears.
The Reaction of Formic acid and Mercuric Chloride will produce white precipitate. HCOOH + AgCl2 ----> AgCl + CO2 + 2HCl
Do not undergo SN1 reactions.
HCOOH is an acid.
Substitution
dehydration
Chloral does not undergo Cannizzaro reaction because the anion formed is very stable do to the electron withdrawing effect of the three chloro group attached to the alpha carbon. As a result cleavage takes place and the products formed initially are CCl3- and HCOOH. Then by maintaining Bronsted Lowry concept an hydride ion transfer takes place and the final products are chloroform and HCOO- ion.
Potassium will undergo a single displacement reaction with acids.
