A mixture of 2.3 g formic acid and 4.5 g oxalic acid is treated with conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)`. The evolved gaseous mixture is passed through KOH pellets. Weight (in g) of the remaining product at STP will beA. (a)`1.4`B. (b)`3.0`C. (c )`2.8`D. (d)`4.4`

Answer» Correct Answer - a
`underset(0.05)(HCOOH)overset(H_(2)SO_(4))(rarr)underset(0.05) (H_(2)O)+underset(0.05)(CO)`
`underset(0.05)(H_(2)C_(2)O_(4))overset(H_(2)SO_(4))(rarr)underset(0.05)(H_(2)O)+underset(0.05)(CO)+underset(0.05)(CO_(2))`
Total moles of `CO=0.05+0.05=0.10`
KOH absorbs `CO_(2)(g)`
`:.` Mass of `CO=0.1xx28=2.8 g`.
