Which is more acidic formic acid or benzoic acid?
Benzoic Acid
What are the differences between formic acid and acetic acid as buffer in LC-MS?
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
What is more acidic acetic acid or formic acid or prop ionic acid?
Formic acid is more acidic because formic acid is a smaller molecule as compare to acetic acid so polarity is working in small area and O-H bond is more polar HCOOH, in acetic acid the additional CH3- group is an electrons donor group so O-H bond is little bit stronger and less polar so it is weaker acid.
What happens when zinc reacts with formic acid?
When zinc reacts with formic acid, it forms zinc formate and hydrogen gas. This is a single-replacement reaction in which the more reactive zinc displaces hydrogen from the formic acid molecule. Zinc formate is a salt and the hydrogen gas is released as a byproduct.
What happens to formic acid when sodium hydroxide is added?
nothing Formic acid is already a source of H+ adding more to the solution (from another acid) would just make the solution more acidic.
Is acetic acid or formic acid is more stronger?
Formic acid is about ten times stronger.
Which is more acidic formic acid or benzoic acid?
Benzoic Acid
When ant bites a person which acid is injected into his body?
Mostly formic acid. "Formic" means "ant type". Formic acid was first discovered in ants; that is why they called it formic acid. Actually, the acid doesn't get injected, only squirted into the wound made by the bite. Some ants have stings and inject poison with the sting, but the poison does not usually contain much formic acid, but more dangerous poisons.

Why formic acid is stronger than acetic acid?
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.

Is ethylamine more volatile than methylamine?
Ethylamine is more volatile than methylamine.
What happens when zinc reacts with formic acid?

Why formic acid more acidic than acidic acid?
Formic acid is a smaller molecule as compare to acetic acid so polarity is working in small area and O-H bond is more polar HCOOH, in acetic acid the additional CH3- group is an electrons donor group so O-H bond is little bit stronger and less polar so it is weaker acid.
What are some carbonic acids?
Formic, acetic, lactic, citric, tartaric, butyric, pyruvic, ...... , mevalonic acid and ........ and thousands more

Why formic acid is more acidic than acetic acid?
Because it has a greater/higher Ka (dissociation constant). This is related to the ease with which the H+ can be released from the COOH group.
