With alkali reaction, can occur esterification, acyl halide, amide reaction. Reduction reaction can occur, heat decarboxylation occurred. Anhydrous oxalic acid are hygroscopic. The formation of oxalic acid with many water-soluble metal complexes.
Acid
Oxalic acid than acetic acid (acetic acid), *0,**0 times stronger, is the organic acid in the acid. The level of ionization constant Ka1 = 5.9 × *0 ^ *2, ionization constant Ka2 = 6.4 × *0 ^ *5. Continuity with the acid. Occurrence with alkali and, enable indicator color, to release carbon dioxide and the role of carbonate.
