Introduction of formic acid

Formic acid colorless pungent odor, and corrosive, human skin redness blistering after exposure. Temperature 8.4 ℃, boiling point 100.8 ℃. Special structure as formic acid, one of its hydrogen atoms and a carboxyl group directly connected. Also be seen as a hydroxyl formaldehyde. Therefore, both formic acid and formaldehyde and nature. In the chemical industry, formic acid is used in rubber, pharmaceuticals, dyes, leather industry category.

Formic acid, colorless liquid with a pungent odor, with water, ethanol, ether and glycerol arbitrary miscible. The relative density (d204) 1.220. Temperature 8.4 ℃. Boiling point 100.8 ℃. Refractive index (n20D) 1.3714. Flash point (open cup) 68.9 ℃. Flammable. Is corrosive. There anhydrous product.

Formic aldehyde class structure it has a reduction, to restore and promote amine, benzyl alcohol and the like compounds, with a ketone and ammonia (or bell-amine) amino compound by reduction reaction, to reach sulfate ions to sulfate ions the sulfur dioxide reduction of thiosulfate ions.
