Detailed Solution

The IUPAC name of HCOOH is methanoic acid.

According to the IUPAC nomenclature rule, HCOOH contains only one carbon. So, the root word 'meth' should be used for one carbon atom.

As the functional group present in carboxylic acid is COOH, so the suffix "oic acid" should be used.

Hence the  IUPAC name of the compound is methanoic acid.
