When formic acid is treated with potassium hydroxide (KOH), an acid-base reaction occurs, forming a carboxylate ion. For the mechanism, draw the curved arrows as needed. Include lone pairs and charges in your answer. Do not draw out any hydrogen explicitly in your products.

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction between formic acid and potassium hydroxide is an acid base reaction.

Remember that an acid base reaction yields salt and water only.

If you look at the curved arrow mechanism shown, you will discover that the hydroxide ion from KOH abstracts a proton from the acid to yield potassium formate and water

more info ? ? i don't understand what the question is

explanation:

2h2o2--> 2h2o + o2

this reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

this may not be entirely correct but let me know.
