Formic acid, with the chemical formula HCOOH, is a colorless and pungent-smelling organic carboxylic acid. It is notable for its presence in nature, found in the venom of certain ants and stinging nettles. In industrial applications, formic acid plays a crucial role in the synthesis of various chemicals, including acetic acid, dyes, and perfumes. Its high solubility in water and versatile reactivity make it valuable in processes like textile finishing, leather tanning, and as a coagulant in rubber production. Additionally, formic acid has applications in agriculture as a preservative and antibacterial agent, particularly in livestock feed to enhance animal health and performance.
For many learners high school is not enough to prepare them for what they are to face at first year university. They find themselves completely overwhelmed and intimidated by what is expected of them to be able to do in a laboratory.
Unfortunately many learners who want to pursue science subjects go through this dilemma, few as they are because fact is SA is not producing enough learners who will become engineers, doctors, science researchers, let alone science innovators.
To address this, we developed a chemistry kits with 52 experiments for use by learners at home. This gives them an opportunity to gain hand-on exposure and engagement, confidence and understanding they need to study sciences further.
The kit comes with a manual explaining how science is experienced in daily life and therefore brings awareness of the application and usefulness of science, helping the learner relate to what they learn at school.
Some schools do have kits where only the teacher demonstrates the experiments and this is great, but you don’t master driving by watching the driving instructor, you must get in the driver’s seat yourself.
