Ca^2+ (aq) + C2O4^2- (aq) ⇌ CaC2O4 (s)

H2C2O4(aq) + H2O (l) ⇌H2O^3 (aq)+ HC2O4^- (aq)


Using the list below, complete the sentence. More precipitate formed in the test tube containing the ______________


a. oxalic acid since oxalic acid is a strong electrolyte resulting in the concentration of the oxalate ion to be greater in this test tube.

b. potassium oxalate since potassium oxalate is a weak electrolyte and does not fully dissociate causing the concentration of the oxalate ion to be low.

c. oxalic acid since oxalic acid is a weak electrolyte and does not fully dissociate causing the concentration of the oxalate ion to be low.

d. potassium oxalate since potassium oxalate is a strong electrolyte resulting in the concentration of the oxalate ion to be greater in this test tube.
