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 is the colour of formic acid?
Chemical formula for formic acid is HCOOH. It is an organic acid compound. Formic acid is colorless.
Is an ant sting acidic or alkaline?
An ants sting is Formic Acid
Is HCHO a formic acid?
No, CH2O is formaldehyde and is not formic acid. HCOOH is formic acid. The key to the answer is that formaldehyde has only one oxygen but formic acid has two in its carboxylate group.
Is formic acid an Aldehyde or a Carboxylic acid?
Formic acid is methanoic acid. A carboxylic 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.
Why the oxidation of formic acid gives red precipitate while the oxidation of acetic acid not?
I think you are referring to the test using Fehlings solution. Fehlings solution oxidises aldehydes and ketones and formic acid and is in turn reduced. The red precipitate is the copper(I) oxide formed by reduction of the copper(II) complex found in Fehlings solution. Acetic acid is not readily oxidised and so there is no precipitate. See link for more information on what the complex is in Fehlings solution and how it is prepared.
Does hcooh undergo fehlings reaction?
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.
Itching due to insect bite is cause by formic acid?

What acid is found in an ant sting?
First of all, Ants do not bite. They sting using the needle at the back of their abdomen.Ant sting usually contain Formic Acid.

How do you prepare formic acid from methanol?
methanol we can get formic acid
What acid is present in an ant bite?
formic acid
Which acid what is the strongest - Formic acid or Acetic acid?
Acetic acid is stronger than formic acid.
