Answer:
Formic acid was first isolated from certain ants and was named after the Latin formica, meaning “ant.” It is made by the action of sulfuric acid upon sodium formate, which is produced from carbon monoxide and sodium hydroxide.
Explanation:
It is the simplest carboxylic acid and has the chemical formula HCOOH. For humans, it functions as an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed. In nature it is used as venom by ants and bees.
