Question

1 mole of oxalic acid is treated with conc. H₂SO₄. The  resultant  gaseous  mixture  is  passed  through  a solution of KOH. The mass of KOH consumed will be (where KOH absorbs CO₂.) (COOH)₂ CO + CO₂ + H₂O 2 KOH + CO₂ K₂CO₃  + H₂O

Accepted Answer

1 mole of oxalic acid is treated with conc. H₂SO₄. The resultant gaseous mixture is passed through a solution of KOH. The mass of KOH consumed will be (where KOH absorbs CO₂.) (COOH)₂ CO + CO₂ + H₂O 2 KOH + CO₂ K₂CO₃ + H₂O
