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.

What is the product of HCOOH plus NaCO3?

When ever a carbonate or bicarbonate reacts with water it evolves CO2 and H2O, in this case HCOOH (Formic acid) is a gas and NaHCO3 is a solid material so aqueous medium (Water) is required for reaction. NaHCO3 + HCOOH -------> HCOO- + Na+ + H2O + CO2..


Is HCOOH a base?

HCOOH, or formic acid, is a weak acid, not a base. When dissolved in water, it releases H+ ions, making it acidic.

Why chloral undergoes cannizzaro reaction?

Chloral does not undergo Cannizzaro reaction because the anion formed is very stable do to the electron withdrawing effect of the three chloro group attached to the alpha carbon. As a result cleavage takes place and the products formed initially are CCl3- and HCOOH. Then by maintaining Bronsted Lowry concept an hydride ion transfer takes place and the final products are chloroform and HCOO- ion.
