Talk:Formic acid

UV cut off
What is the UV cut off value of formic acid?

Untitled
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? ~ender 2006-11-17 8:40:AM MST

Decomposition re-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
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)
 * It should. I added the flammability pictogram.  Sandcherry (talk) 18:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

What does this mean?
"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)
