i feel that here one point should be noted............
+I is responsible for lesser stability of acetate ion......right!!!!!!!
but it does not have any role for formate ion........for formate ion we have just one thing resonance stabilization........so.............
wat do we conclude :
+I in acetate ion makes it lesser stable
or putting it differently,
as the statement given in ques.
