NEET2018ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of ChemistryActual
A mixture of 2 . 3   g formic acid and 4 . 5   g oxalic acid is treated with concentrate H 2 SO 4 . The evolved gaseous mixture is passed through KOH pellets. What will be the weight in grams of the remaining product at STP ?
Options
- A2 . 8
- B3 . 0
- C1 . 4
- D4 . 4
Correct answer
A. 2 . 8
Step-by-step solution
For gases n ∝ V : CO 2 is absorbed by KOH . So the remaning product is only CO . moles of CO formed from both reactions = 1 20 + 1 20 = 1 10 Left mass of CO = moles × molar mass = 1 10 × 28 = 2 .8   g
