Complete the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when formic acid (hcooh) dissolves in water. include the state of matter for all chemical species.

Your balanced equation for this reaction is:

HCOOH (aq) + H2O (aq) → HCOO- (aq) + H3O+ (aq)

So from the reaction, we can see when formic acid dissolved in water so H3O+ ions will be formed.
and we can see that it is a balanced equation as:
we have H atoms = 4 on both sides of the reaction
and C atoms = 1 atom on both sides of the reaction
and O atoms = 3 atoms on both sides of the reaction
So it is our final balanced equation of the reaction.

The answer should be c.
