It's the carboxylic acid functional group (COOH).
Formic acid (methanoic acid), HCOOH, has a PH of ~2-3.
No, CH2O is formaldehyde and is not formic acid. HCOOH is formic acid. The key to the answer is that formaldehyde has only one oxygen but formic acid has two in its carboxylate group.
No! Amino acids are compounds having an amine ( -NH2) group and a carboxylic group ( -COOH). Formic acid, HCOOH, thus is not an amino acid.
The functional group in an organic acid is -COOH.
It is a carboxyl functional group, consisting of a carbonyl and hydroxyl group. It is an ACID [moiety].

Formic acid, buildup in muscles from exertion causes soreness. Also the main component of venom in a fire ant bite.
The functional group in an organic acid is -COOH.
Formic acid
It is a carboxyl functional group, consisting of a carbonyl and hydroxyl group. It is an ACID [moiety].
Chemical formula for formic acid is HCOOH. It is an organic acid compound. Formic acid is colorless.
COOH is not itself a stable compound, and does not exist in nature. However, HCOOH is methanoic acid, while the -COOH functional group in organic chemistry is the general formula for a carboxyllic acid.
First of all, Ants do not bite. They sting using the needle at the back of their abdomen.Ant sting usually contain Formic Acid.
An ants sting is Formic Acid
Formic acid is methanoic acid. A carboxylic acid.
