Formic Acid (HCO₂H)is a Weak Acid Found in the Venom

Formic acid (HCO₂H)is a weak acid found in the venom of bees and ant stings.Which of the following is an accurate statement concerning an aqueous solution of formic acid? HCO₂H(aq)+ H₂O(l) H₃O⁺(aq)+ HCO₂⁻(aq) K_a = 1.8 × 10⁻⁴

A)The reaction between formic acid and water is slow,due to the low value for K_a.
B)A formic acid solution predominantly contains undissociated HCO₂H molecules.
C)A formic acid solution predominantly contains H₃O⁺ and HCO₂^{− ions.}
D)A formic acid solution contains a greater concentration of dissolved ions than it does neutral formic acid molecules.
E)A formic acid solution contains equal amounts of H₃O⁺ and HCO₂H.
