A) Heating of acetic acid
B) Action of nitric acid on glucose
C) Acidic hydrolysis of cyanogen
D) Strong heating of sodium formate
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Oxalic acid is prepared by the acidic hydrolysis of cyanogen. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} C\equiv N \\ cyanogen \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{C\equiv N}{\mathop{|}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O/}{{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} COOH \\ oxalic\,acid \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{COOH}{\mathop{|}}}\,\]You need to login to perform this action.
