Draw the structural formula of methanoic acid.
(N/A) Methanoic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid with the chemical formula $HCOOH$.
Its structural formula consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom,single-bonded to a hydroxyl group $(-OH)$,and single-bonded to a hydrogen atom.
The structure is represented as:
$H - C(=O) - OH$
