Answer 1

Colt, Lach, Jack, Mary, Amanda, Lynn -- or whoever --

Don't bother switching names or making up some lame excuse about all of you (!!) using the same computer. That's bogus!

Also, here’s the way this website works:

You post a question you have about your assignment, and then tell us what you think about it all so far. Then a tutor with this specialty can tell what help you need and work with you on your answers.

Please let us know what YOU THINK -- or what your questions are about these problems/assignment.

Answer 2

HCOOH is formic acid. It will react with both NH3 and KOH.The general formula is
acid + base = salt + water.
HCOOH + KOH ==> HCOOK + H2O
HCOOK is potassium formate.
