Answer:
Out of acetic acid and formic acid, formic acid is considered stronger because the CH3 in acetic acid is electron donating. ... Formic acid does not have an electron donating group, so its O-H bond is slightly more polarized and more acidic. So,it's formic acid that is more acidic than acetic acid.
