UV cut off

[edit]

What is the UV cut off value of formic acid?

Untitled

[edit]

The historic production of Fromic acid isn't discussed. According to everything I've read, FA is used in rubber production. However, I doubt they were turning over ant-hills to produce the acid to make tons of rubber between 1770-1855... so how were they getting the acid at that point?

Decomposition re-edit

[edit]

The so called 'high' Hydrogen content of 55 g/L is not really high compared with methanol at 71 g/L or other hydrogen storage like methane, ammonia etc.

Flammability

[edit]

Acetic Acid has the same NFPA pictogram but carries an additional GHS diamond for flammability. Why this discrepancy? 57.135.233.22 (talk) 20:10, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It should. I added the flammability pictogram. Sandcherry (talk) 18:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What does this mean?

[edit]

"Formic acid is about ten times stronger than acetic acid" . Is this a pH thing? Or is it saying that formic acid would neutralise 10 times the amount of an alkali than acetic acid would? I am not a chemist. 78.146.94.150 (talk) 13:42, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
