HCOOH is a Carboxylic Acid, formerly referred to aS 'FATTY ACIDS;.
HCOOH IS METHANOIC ACID. which is a weak acid .
The structure is H-C(=O)-O-H or =COOH as the internationa;l recognised formula for carboxylic acids.
All Carboxylic Acids have the functional group -COOH.
By contrast , Hydroxides are written as MOH or M(OH)2
Mineral acids are written as HX or H2X
Where 'X'; is the acid anion.
Note the position of hydrogen and oxygen in the formula of these substances.
HCOOH, or formic acid, is a weak acid, not a base. When dissolved in water, it releases H+ ions, making it acidic.
HCOO- is the conjugate base of formic acid (HCOOH) which is a weak acid. Therefore, HCOO- is a weak base.
HCl is a strong acid-it completely dissociates in water, leaving you with Cl- ions and H+ ions. HCOOH is a weak acid. When it is in water, it partly dissociates, leaving some H+ and COOH- ions, but partly holds together as HCOOH molecules.
methanoic acid = HCOOH sodium hydroxide = NaOH The equation for the reaction is as follows: methanoic acid + sodium hydroxide -> sodium methanoate + water HCOOH + NaOH -> NaCOOH + H2O
If acid is strong then its conjugate base must be weak, if conjugate base is strong it again accept the H+ ions so acid can neither be strong, similarly if base is strong its conjugate acid must be weak.

I don't think you will find many non-electrolytic salts. Salts are formed by Acid-Base neutralization reaction. There are four possible types of reactants involved based on their dissociation strengths. i.e. 1.Strong acid and Strong base (Eg HCl and NaOH) 2. Strong acid and weak base (Eg HCl and NH4OH) 3. Weak acid and strong base (Eg HCOOH and NaOH) 4. Both weak acid and base (Eg HCOOH and NH4OH) In all the cases, neutralization takes place to form salts. And surprisingly, the salts formed i.e., NaCl, NH4Cl,HCOO-Na and H-COO-NH4 respectively, irrespective of the strengths of the reactants are found to be strong electrolytes.
The molar (not atomic) mass of HCOOH (formic acid) is 46,03 g.
A salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base.
If acid is strong then its conjugate base must be weak, if conjugate base is strong it again accept the H+ ions so acid can neither be strong, similarly if base is strong its conjugate acid must be weak.
HCOOH
NaHCO3 is a weak base, with a conjugate acid of H2CO3+.
Strong Acid + Strong Base ---> Neutral Salt + Water
Definitely NOT a STRONG ACID. #However it will act as a weak base when react with an orgsnic acid. to produc the corresponding salt and water. e.g. Methanoic Acid + Ethanol = Ethylmethanoate + water HCOOH + CH3CH2OH HCOOCH2CH3 + H2O
