Formic acid (94%)


Product name Formic acid
Alias Formic acid
CAS number 64-18-6
EINECS number 200-001-8
Molecular formula CH2O2
Molecular weight 46.03
Physical and chemical properties Flammability. It can be freely miscible with water, ethanol, ether and glycerol, and most polar organic solvents are miscible, and also has a certain solubility in hydrocarbons. Relative density (d204): 1.220. The heat of combustion was 254.4 kJ/mol, the critical temperature was 306.8 °C, and the critical pressure was 8.63 MPa. Flash point 68.9 °C (open cup). The density is 1.22, and the relative vapor density is 1.59 (air = 1).
Formic acid with high concentrations tends to freeze in winter.
Forbidden compounds: strong oxidants, strong alkalis, active metal powders.
Dangerous characteristics: its vapor and air form an explosive mixture, in case of open flame, high heat energy caused by combustion explosion. It can react with strong oxidants.
Solubility: miscible with water, insoluble in hydrocarbons, miscible in alcohol.
