the general formula for a carboxyl group would be -COOH. Where the Carbon (C) is double bonded to one of the oxygen atoms (O) and single bonded to the remaining oxygen (O). The single bonded oxygen is also single bonded to the hydrogen atom (H). The carboxyl group is basically the amalgamation of a carbonyl group (CO) and a hydroxyl group (OH)

C=O

OH

What is the structural formula of formic acid in water?

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-

What is the chemical formula of the formic acid?

The chemical formula of formic acid is HCO2H or HCOOH. In this formula, the two hydrogens are not written combined as H2CO2 to distinguish the acidic hydrogen from the non-acidic hydrogen. Formic acid has only one acidic hydrogen and it is the one is that is attached to the oxygen. The hydrogen that appears first in the formula is not acidic. Pushpa Padmanabhan
