Answer:
Well, carbon monoxide can be created from formic acid by adding sulphuric acid which will dehydrate said formic acid:
HCOOH

HCOOH→HX2SOX4CO+HX2O
Therefore, we can imagine the reverse reaction theoretically, which would make carbon monoxide an acidic oxide. However, the forward reaction does not proceed easily and it needs both the high acidity of sulphuric acid and its strong dehydrative properties to actually work. And your question mentions using hot, concentrated sodium hydroxide to make the reverse one work.
Most oxides that are classified as acidic or basic either have a very electrophilic central atom (e.g.
CO
2
COX2
) which can be attacked by the weak nucleophile water (which in turn can then release an acidic proton), or they have a high charge density on the oxygen which allows it to abstract a proton from water directly. Carbon monoxide is neither. If you check out its molecular orbitals, you will notice that even though carbon is partially positive it has the largest HOMO contribution, meaning a proton would be more likely to attatch to the carbon side — which doesn’t want one at all. The LUMO is, luckily, also more carbon-centred, meaning nucleophilic attacks on carbon are possible. However, it is also degenerate due to the double bond so that an attack is not favoured.
Thus, the carbon monoxide molecule is one that won’t react with water at all and totally defies the concept of acidic/basic oxides.
Abbreviations:
HOMO is a widely used abbreviation for the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital, i.e. the one with the highest energy that still contains electrons. It is usually the orbital that will attack nucleophilicly or that will be attacked electrophilicly.
LUMO is a widely used abbreviation for the Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital, i.e. the virtual (unoccupied) orbital that has the lowest energy. When considering a nucleophilic attack, the attacking electrons will usually interact with the LUMO. Electrophiles attack with other molecules’ HOMO with their LUMO.
Explanation:
Answer: 
, 
and 
are formed at the end of the reaction. They are named as tin (IV) oxide or stannic oxide, nitrogen dioxide and water respectively.
Explanation: Reaction of tin and nitric acid is given as:
Three products are formed at the end of the reaction which are:
- which is termed as stannic oxide or Tin (IV) oxide. This is a white colored solid.
- which is termed as nitrogen dioxide. These are brown colored fumes.
- which is termed as water.
At the starting tin was a silvery-white colored solid and after the reaction, it changed the color to milky-white. This change in color is due to the chemical reaction happening between tin and nitric acid.
Release of brown fumes are also an indication that a chemical reaction has taken place.
Explanation:
Never smoke near a place where hydrogen is generated or being used. Remove all possible sources of flame and sparks. Hydrogen should only be generated and used in a well ventilated out door area. Precautions must be taken to remove all possibilities of fire or explosion.

Answer:
no of moles=mass in gm÷molar mass so let x be the mass in gm
4.5=x÷35.5×2
x=4.5×35.5×2 grams
x=319.5 gm
