Oxalic acid is formed when glycol is treated with:
Conc. sulphuric acid
Orthophosphoric acid
Dry hydrogen chloride gas
Dil. Nitric acid
When 1 mole of oxalic acid is treated with excess of NaOH in dilute aqueous solution, 106 kJ of heat is liberated. Predict the enthalpy of ionization of the acid ?
