Oxidation of formic acid with K2CrO4 produces carbonic acid (HO COOH), but this molecule is very unstable, it tends to decompose in CO2 and H2O.
It would appear to be a molecule of cobalt hydroxide.
acetic acid and formic acid
COOH is not itself a stable compound, and does not exist in nature. However, HCOOH is methanoic acid, while the -COOH functional group in organic chemistry is the general formula for a carboxyllic acid.
When you see a COOH group in a formula it usually mean that you have an organic acid. for instance HCOOH is Formic Acid and CH3COOH is Acetic Acid.
Formic acid can be determined by ion chromatography.
It's the carboxylic acid functional group (COOH).
No! Amino acids are compounds having an amine ( -NH2) group and a carboxylic group ( -COOH). Formic acid, HCOOH, thus is not an amino acid.
Formic acid (methanoic acid), HCOOH, has a PH of ~2-3.
When any carboxylic acid is place in water, hydrogen ion transfer occurs to produce hydronium ion and carboxylate ion. ( R-COOH + H20 = H30 + R-COO- ) So formic acid with the addition of water is HCOOH + H20 = H30 + HCOO-
It would appear to be a molecule of cobalt hydroxide.

Ants and some other stinging insects release formic acidwhen they bite. Some plants, such as nettles, also release formic acid when touched.
When you see a COOH group in a formula it usually mean that you have an organic acid. for instance HCOOH is Formic Acid and CH3COOH is Acetic Acid.
It is Formic acid or its anion.
Many species of ants produce formic acid in their venom.
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.
