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
