About This Product
Formic acid is used to teach carboxylic-acid behaviour and safe acid dilution. Because it comes in different aqueous strengths, the concentration on the label is read before use. Work is done in a fume hood or ventilated area where vapour may be present, wearing splash goggles, compatible gloves and a lab coat, and only the minimum quantity is dispensed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is formic acid diluted?
The acid is added slowly to water with stirring and cooling. Water is not added into concentrated acid.
