| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Preparation]
Dissolve 12.6 g of oxalic acid dihydrate (0.1 mol) in 300 mL of water, and dissolve 18.4 g of potassium oxalate monohydrate (0.1 mol) in 100 mL of water. Then add the potassium oxalate aqueous solution to the oxalic acid aqueous solution at 3 °C and let it stand at 0 °C for 24 h. The precipitated crystals are Potassium binoxalate monohydrate. |
| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
white crystalline powder | [General Description]
Odorless white solid. Sinks in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
Salts, basic, such as POTASSIUM BINOXALATE(127-95-7), are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH's greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10 (Bases) and the neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Hygroscopic. Gives basic solution, below 50°C dissolves in water and reacts to form the much less soluble potassium tetraoxalate, which separates out. | [Hazard]
Toxic by ingestion.
| [Health Hazard]
Inhalation of dust causes irritation of nose and throat. Ingestion causes burning pain in throat, esophagus, and stomach; exposed areas of mucous membrane turn white; vomiting, severe purging, weak pulse, and cardiovascular collapse; if death is delayed, neuromuscular symptoms develop. Contact with dust irritates eyes and may cause mild irritation of skin. | [Description]
Potassium hydrogen oxalate, also known as potassium bioxalate, is a salt with formula KHC2O4 or K+·HO2C-CO2-. It is one of the most common salts of the hydrogenoxalate anion, and can be obtained by reacting potassium hydroxide with oxalic acid in 1:1 mole ratio.
The salt is also known as potassium hydrogen oxalate , acid potassium oxalate, or monobasic potassium oxalate. In older literature, it was also called sorrel salt, sal acetosella ,
Potassium hydrogen oxalate occurs in some plants, notably sorrel. It is a commercial product, used in photography, marble grinding, and to remove ink stains. | [History]
Potassium acid oxalate, KHC2O4, exists as a monohydrate. It is of historical interest because it is the salt of sorrel found in vegetation and the first oxalate isolated. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise it from H2O by dissolving 20g in 100mL H2O at 60o containing 4g of potassium oxalate, filtering and allowing to cool to 25o. The crystals, after washing three or four times with water, are allowed to dry in air. [Beilstein 2 III 1552.] | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Nonflammable | [Safety Profile]
Moderately toxic to humans by ingestion. Human systemic effects by ingestion and intravenous routes: general anesthetic, somnolence, fluid intake, blood pressure increase or decrease, esophagus changes,nausea or vomiting, and urine volume decrease or anu | [Toxicology]
Potassium hydrogen oxalate is strongly irritating to eyes, mucoses and gastrointestinal tract. It may cause cardiac failure and death . |
