Potassium Oxalate

Description

Oxalate
An oxalate (called also: ethanedioate) is a salt or ester of oxalic acid. The oxalate ion, (COO)22−, is "oxalic acid" minus two hydrogen ions.
Consumption of oxalates (for example, the grazing of animals on oxalate-containing plants such as greasewood) may result in kidney disease or even death due to oxalate poisoning.
Much of its other properties resemble oxalic acid.
Examples
· sodium oxalate - Na2C2O4
· calcium oxalate - CaC2O4[1]
· dimethyl oxalate - (CH3)2C2O4
· phenyl oxalate ester - (C6H5)2C2O4
Another way to write Oxalates formula is C2O4 -2
