A mixture of `HCOOH` and `H_(2)C_(2)O_(4)` is heated with conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)`. The gas produced is collected and on treating with `KOH` solution the volume of the gas decreases by `1//6th`. Calculate molar ratio of two acids in original mixure.A. `4:1`B. `1:4`C. `3:1`D. `2:1` |

Answer» Correct Answer - A `underset("a moles")(HCOOH) overset(H_(2)SO_(4))underset(("Conc"))rarr H_(2)O +underset("a moles")(CO)` `underset("a moles")(H_(2)C_(2)O_(4)) overset(H_(2)SO_(4))underset(("Conc"))rarr H_(2)O +underset("b moles")(CO)+underset("b moles")(CO_(2))` Total no. of moles released as gases `a +b +b = a +2b` `CO_(2)` is absorbed by KOH `b = (1)/(6) (a+2b)` (moles `oo` volume) `(a)/(b) = 4` or `a:b :: 4:1` |
