a massive error:

Wow, what an error!  Thanks, Murray!


The "accounting" for Formic oxidation SHOULD be
as follows:

   HHCOO + OO + heat) => What?
     COO                 1 CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
   HH      O             1 H2O (Water)
            O            1/2 an Oxygen, to combine with
                         another 1/2 Oxygen from another
                         of the "same" reaction.
