No, CHOOH is not a salt. CHOOH typically represents a functional group known as a hydroxyl group, which consists of an oxygen and a hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom. Salts are formed when a metal cation replaces the hydrogen atom in an acid group.
Yes, CHOOH is methanoic acid - it is an organic acid because it contains the "COOH"functional group. The carbon atom has one bond with the hydrogen atom, and one bond with the OH molecule, and finally a double bond with the oxygen.
HCHO2 is a weird way of writing formic acid, which is usually written CHOOH. As you might be able to guess from it's name, it's an acid. KOH is a base. Like most acids and bases, they react to make water, and a salt. The salt in this case would be potassium formate.
Solute, because it is the minor component in the solution and it is what dissolves in the solvent. For example: Salt Water - The salt is the solute that dissoles in the solvent, which is water.
An adjective is a word that best describes the salt; for example much salt, little salt, or some salt.
In a salt solution, the salt is the solute and the substance in which the salt dissolves is the solvent. For example, in a saltwater solution, salt (sodium chloride) is the solute and water is the solvent.
