hey dude here is ur answer

formic acid is more acidic than acitic acid bcz

HCOOH (formic acid)

CH3COOH (acetic acid)

in formic acid conjugate base (HCOO-)

there is ERS with no I effect bt in (CH3COO-) there is I effect of -CH3 group so which makes it less acidic so formic acid is more acidid than acetic acid

hope it hlps u

faizan1161: thnx dear
