Describe the bug

The recipes produces 40 charges from 2 units of insect blood and 250 ml alcohol. I would guess the author of the recipe intended for it to produce 40 ml of acid rather than 10 liters (the unit size is 250 ml, not 1 ml).

Realized something was wrong when my 100 L barrel got full...

N/A, this is a JSON issue.

Steps to reproduce

Look at the recipes in data/json/recipes/recipe_medsandchemicals.json and the definition of formic acid in data/json/items/chemicals_and_resources.json

Expected behavior

The results to be the same or slightly lower mass than the input, unless you extract mass from the air (like moisture).

Additional context

The simple solution is to just drop the charges of the recipes so you get one unit (250 ml). You get 1 unit of water back as well, and since the input is 2 unit of blood, that checks out (you also input alcohol and receive most of it back in the destillation recipe, while it's lost in the more basic one (presumably evaporated).

The complicated solution would be to rework the size of the formic acid unit (and handle its follow on effects).
