Formic acid, HCOOH, is what causes the sting of bee stings. What is the formula weight of formic acid?

a) 29 amu
b) 46 amu
c) 50 amu
d) 58 amu

Answer:
Formula weight, or molecular weight is the sum of the atomic weights of all the atoms that make up the molecule.

H = 1 g/mol
C = 12 g/mol
O = 16 g/mol

HCOOH = 1 + 12 + 16 + 16 + 1 = 46 g/mol
46
don't you know how to calculate MW?
Do it like the guy showed you above but if you are at home and you want a quick reference.

Always use www.chemfinder.com

Type in formic acid and it will give you molecular weight :-).
