Formic acid, HCOOH, is a weak electrolyte. What solute particles are present in an aqueous solution of HCOOH? Weak electrolytes such as formic acid (HCOOH) will be present mostly in solution in its neutral form, with only a small fraction dissociated into ions. For example, in a solution of acetic acid (CH3 COOH), only a small fraction is dissociated into H+ and CH3COO ions. Enter the chemical equation for the ionization of HCOOH.
