HELLO THERE!
When Formic acid (HCOOH) reacts with concentrated sulphuric acid, the neutral gas formed is Carbon Monoxide (CO).
HCOOH + H₂SO₄ ----> CO + H₂SO₄.H₂O
Properties of this gas:
=> This gas is neutral (has no effect on litmus paper).
=> It is highly poisonous. It combines with the Haemoglobin of our blood to form a stable compound, carboxy-haemoglobin (HbCO), which reduces the surface area of RBCs to carry oxygen to the cells.
HOPE MY ANSWER IS SATISFACTORY...
Thanks!
