Hazard Predictions

• Flammable: Reaction products may be flammable
• Generates gas: Reaction liberates gaseous products and may cause pressurization
• Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)

Formic acid dissolves Mg, Fe, and Zn with evolution of flammable hydrogen gas (Reutemann, W. 2002. Formic Acid. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online)).

Ca reacts violently with acids, evolving H2 (Mellor, J.W. 1967. Mellor's Modern Inorganic Chemistry, 6th Edition. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pp. 695).

Aluminum exothermically reduces formic acid and can become incandescent, and if mercury is present as a catalyst, it can be attacked by acetic acid (Matigon, C. 1900. Compt. Rend. 130, p. 1392; Wagner, F.S., Jr. 2005. Acetic acid. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).
