Question: Formic acid, HCHO2, is a convenient source of small quantities of carbon monoxide. When warmed with sulfuric acid, formic acid decomposes to give CO gas.

Formic acid, HCHO2, is a convenient source of small quantities of carbon monoxide. When warmed with sulfuric acid, formic acid decomposes to give CO gas.
HCHO2(l ) → H2O(l ) + CO(g)
