FORMIC ACID
CAS No.: 64-18-6
Molecular Formula: CH2O2        
Molecular Weight: 46.02
Structural Formula:


Property:
Formic acid is miscible with water and most polar organic solvents, and somewhat soluble in hydrocarbons. In hydrocarbons and in the vapor phase, it actually consists of hydrogen-bonded dimers rather than individual molecules. In the gas phase, this hydrogen-bonding results in severe deviations from the ideal gas law. Liquid and solid formic acid consists of an effectively endless network of hydrogen-bonded formic acid molecules.
