Ok... Seems this question is terrible... No one try to reply or want to reply... I've made some tests and seems there is no formation of ester in a mix of an aqueous solution of carboxylic acid in methanol. See you.

Hello, I try to make formate silver (AgCHOO) to enhance my silver halide holographic plates. I have make silver carbonate and have formic acid. My question is : Can I mix formic acid with acetone without degradation of acid ? Seems formic acid + acetone form esters but is it degrade the potential of this acid ? The reaction between formic acid and silver carbonate must be done at low temperature, preferably below 0*C this why I think of acetone to get low temperature. Thanks in advance.
