Manganese oxalate is a chemical compound, a salt of manganese and oxalic acid with the chemical formula MnC 2 O 4. [2] [3] The compound creates light pink crystals, does not dissolve in water, and forms crystalline hydrates. [4] It occurs naturally as the mineral Lindbergite. [5]
Honeybee coated with oxalate crystals. Oxalic acid is used by some beekeepers as a miticide against the parasitic varroa mite. [52] Dilute solutions (0.05–0.15 M) of oxalic acid can be used to remove iron from clays such as kaolinite to produce light-colored ceramics. [53] Oxalic acid can be used to clean minerals like many other acids.
Cerium(III) oxalate (cerous oxalate) is the inorganic cerium salt of oxalic acid. It is a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula of Ce 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 . It could be obtained by the reaction of oxalic acid with cerium(III) chloride .
It is the sodium salt of oxalic acid. It contains sodium cations Na + and oxalate anions C 2 O 2− 4. It is a white, crystalline, odorless solid, that decomposes above 290 °C. [2] Sodium oxalate can act as a reducing agent, and it may be used as a primary standard for standardizing potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) solutions.
For example, diethyl oxalate condenses with cyclohexanone to give the diketo-ester, a precursor to pimelic acid. [8] With diamines, the diesters of oxalic acid condense to give cyclic diamides. Quinoxalinedione is produced by condensation of dimethyloxalate and o-phenylenediamine: C 2 O 2 (OMe) 2 + C 6 H 4 (NH 2) 2 → C 6 H 4 (NHCO) 2 + 2 MeOH
It is an ammonium salt of oxalic acid. It consists of ammonium cations ([NH 4] +) and oxalate anions (C 2 O 2− 4). The structure of ammonium oxalate is ([NH 4] +) 2 [C 2 O 4] 2−. Ammonium oxalate sometimes comes as a monohydrate ([NH 4] 2 C 2 O 4 ·H 2 O). It is a colorless or white salt under standard conditions and is odorless and non ...
Calcium oxalate crystals are commonly found in lichens, where they occur in two mineral forms: weddellite (CaC 2 O 4 ·(2+x)H 2 O) and whewellite (CaC 2 O 4 ·H 2 O). These crystals can form both on the surface of the lichen as a powdery coating called pruina and within the internal structures of the lichen thallus. The type and distribution of ...
Oxalate (systematic IUPAC name: ethanedioate) is an anion with the chemical formula C 2 O 2− 4.This dianion is colorless. It occurs naturally, including in some foods. It forms a variety of salts, for example sodium oxalate (Na 2 C 2 O 4), and several esters such as dimethyl oxalate ((CH 3) 2 C 2 O 4).
