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).
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. The mineral form of sodium oxalate is natroxalate.
Tin(II) oxalate is an inorganic compound, a salt of tin and oxalic acid with the chemical formula SnC 2 O 4. [2] The compound looks like colorless crystals, does not dissolve in water, and forms crystalline hydrates.
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure.
Calcium oxalate (in archaic terminology, oxalate of lime) is a calcium salt of oxalic acid with the chemical formula CaC 2 O 4 or Ca(COO) 2. It forms hydrates CaC 2 O 4 · n H 2 O , where n varies from 1 to 3.
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.
Ammonium oxalate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula [N H 4] 2 C 2 O 4.Its formula is often written as (NH 4) 2 C 2 O 4 or (COONH 4) 2.It is an ammonium salt of oxalic acid.It consists of ammonium cations ([NH 4] +) and oxalate anions (C 2 O 2− 4).
