Formic Acid and Sodium Hydroxide
HCOOH + NaOH → HCOONa + H2O
Обзор
Formic acid, the simplest carboxylic acid, reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium formate and water. Formic acid (Ka = 1.8 × 10⁻⁴) is about 10 times stronger than acetic acid. It was originally obtained by distillation from ants (Latin: formica).
