Question
Identify that the following compound is insoluble, partially soluble and highly soluble in water.
formic acid
Options
Insoluble
Partially soluble
Highly soluble
Solution
Highly soluble
Explanation:
Formic acid (HCOOH) has the −OH polar group and can form an H-bond with water. Thus, formic acid is highly soluble in water.
