2. Chemical properties of oxalic acid
Acid: Oxalic acid is a strong organic acid with two ionizable hydrogen ions (pKa₁=1.25, pKa₂=4.14).
Reducibility: oxalic acid has strong reducibility and can be oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.
Chelation: oxalate can form stable chelates with metal ions, such as calcium oxalate.
Thermal stability: decomposition when heated above 150°C, forming formic acid,
carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
3. Preparation method of oxalic acid
Industrial preparation method
Sodium formate method:
Equation: 2HCOONa → (COONa)₂ + H₂
Steps: Sodium formate is heated to 400°C to produce sodium oxalate,
and then acidified with sulfuric acid to obtain oxalic acid.
Carbohydrate oxidation method:
₆. : C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6HNO₃ → 3C₂H₂O₄ + 6NO + 6H₂O
Steps: oxalic acid is produced by oxidation of glucose or starch catalyzed by nitric acid.
Laboratory preparation method
Glycol oxidation method:
Glycol is oxidized to oxalic acid by potassium permanganate under acidic conditions.
