What mass of `CO` will be formed when 9 gm anhydrous oxalic acid is dehydrated with conc `H_(2)SO_(4)`?

Explanation

To find the mass of carbon monoxide (CO) formed when 9 grams of anhydrous oxalic acid is dehydrated with concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Write the Balanced Chemical Equation
The dehydration of oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) can be represented by the following balanced equation:

\[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_2\text{O}_4 \xrightarrow{\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4} 2 \text{CO} + \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]

### Step 2: Calculate the Molar Mass of Oxalic Acid
