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.

How do you distinguish between acetic acid and formic acid?
Formic acid gives positive result in both tollen's test and fehlings test. but acetic acid doesnot.
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

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.

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.

Why formic acid is stronger acid than acetic acid?
Hydrochloric acid, HCl
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.
