In aqueous solution............

$Acid + base \to water + salt$ $"Acid + base "rarr" water + salt"$

So,

$formic acid + sodium hydroxide \to sodium formate + water$ $"formic acid + sodium hydroxide "rarr" sodium formate + water"$

$H C (= O) O H (a q) + N a O H (a q) \to H C O_{2}^{-} N a^{+} + H_{2} O (a q)$ $HC(=O)OH(aq) + NaOH(aq) rarr HCO_2^(-)Na^(+) + H_2O(aq)$

How do you complete this reaction? HCOOH(aq)+NaOH(aq)→?+?"HCOOH"(aq) + "NaOH"(aq) -> ? +?
