HCOOH xrightarrowH2SO4 H2O + CO Here, H2SO4 behaves as a dehydrating agent.

Q. Assertion : $H COO H$ reacts with $H_{2} S O_{4}$ to form $CO$ .
Reason : $H_{2} S O_{4}$ is a mild oxidising agent.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

$H COO H H_{2} S O_{4} H_{2} O + CO$
Here, $H_{2} S O_{4}$ behaves as a dehydrating agent.
