Formic Acid

(Total 12 Products)

Formic Acid, systematically named Acid Formic, is the simplest carboxylic Acid Product, and has the chemical formula H2CO2. It is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally, most notably in some ants. The word "formic" comes from the Latin word for ant, formica, referring to its early isolation by the distillation of ant bodies. Esterssalts, and the anion derived from formic acid are called formates. Industrially, formic acid is produced from methanol.

Formic Acid 85 is a colorless liquid having a pungent, penetrating odor at room temperature, comparable to the related Acetic Acid. It is miscible with water Titanium Dioxide and most polar organic solvents, and is somewhat soluble in hydrocarbons. In hydrocarbons and in the vapor phase, it consists of hydrogen-bonded dimers rather than individual molecules.Owing to its tendency to hydrogen-bond, gaseous Formic Acid Liquid does not obey the ideal gas law.Solid Sodium Hexametaphosphate formic acid, which can exist in either of two polymorphs, consists of an effectively endless network of hydrogen-bonded formic acid molecules. Formic Acid 85% forms a high-boiling azeotrope with water (22.4%). Liquid formic acid tends to supercool.
