    Oxalic acid when heated with cone\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\], gives

    A) \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]and\[C{{O}_{2}}\]

    B)        \[CO\]and\[C{{O}_{2}}\]              

    C)        \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]and\[CO\]

    D)        \[CaC{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  COOH  \\  oxalic\,\,acid \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{COOH}}\,+conc.{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}CO+\underset{{{H}_{2}}O}{\mathop{{{O}_{2}}}}\,\] Concentrated\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]is a strong dehydrating agent.
