Conversion of formic acid to methanol occurs via reduction.
This could be brought about by LiAlH4/H2O or NaBH4/H2O
yes formic acid is stronger than acetic acid.
Formic acid gives positive result in both tollen's test and fehlings test. but acetic acid doesnot.
Formic acid is generally considered to have lower contamination levels than acetic acid, especially metal ions. Formic acid is slightly more volatile and less smelly! -DN
the lack of steric hindarance in formic acid and the inductive effect of chlorine in chloroacetic acid
No, Fehling's Test will have no reaction with Formic Acid HCOOH + 2CuSO4 + 4NaOh ---> no Reaction
Acetic acid is stronger than formic acid.
yes formic acid is stronger than acetic acid.
Formic acid is about ten times stronger.
Formic acid gives positive result in both tollen's test and fehlings test. but acetic acid doesnot.
acetic acid formic acid citric acid

Hydrochloric acid, HCl
As we know that acetic acid is CH3 substituted formic acid .since CH3 is an electron donating relative to hydrogen .so, it donates the electron to carboxyl group and makes it more negative. this phenomenon makes acetic acid weaker acid than formic acid .Thus formic acid is stronger acid than acetic acid.

No, Acetic acid (ethanoic acid, CH3COOH) is the second simplest. Methanoic acid (formic acid) is the simplest with the formula HCOOH.
