        Just as in the oxidation of CO to CO₂, HCOOH is an intermediate product, so, if the nonluminous Bunsen flame is allowed to burn on distilled H₂O, HCOOH can be detected.  HCOOH also can be detected in the CH₄ flame; its formation probably is due to the decomposition of the CH₄ into C and H₂, and C with H₂O at once gives CO, the source of the HCOOH.  (See abs. 2217.)
