Formic acid, systematically named methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid. The chemical formula is HCOOH or HCO2H. It is an important intermediate
in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally, most notably in some ants.
Formic acid has been always regarded as a promising re- actant for the fuel cell technology.
