CAS No: 64-18-6
Formik asit, HCOOH, tek karbonlu karboksilik asittir. Metanoik asit olarak da bilinir.
Formik asit, karbonil karbonuna bağlı alkil grubu içermemesiyle en basit karboksilli asit özelliği taşır.
Formik asit; su, metanol, etanol, aseton, eter gibi çözücülerde çok iyi çözünür.
Formic acid is a colorless liquid having a highly pungent, penetrating odor at room temperature.
It is miscible with water 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 does not obey the ideal gas law.
Solid formic acid (two polymorphs) consists of an effectively endless network of hydrogen-bonded formic acid molecules.
This relatively complicated compound also forms a low-boiling azeotrope with water (22.4%) and liquid formic acid also tends to supercool.
