Calcium Oxalate – 500 gram Packs

Calcium Oxalate is a calcium salt of oxalic acid used in laboratory research, analytical chemistry, and investigations involving precipitation and solubility. The anhydrous form has the molecular formula CaC₂O₄ and typically appears as a white crystalline powder. It is sparingly soluble in water, making it useful for studying ionic equilibria, precipitate formation, and the behaviour of calcium and oxalate ions in aqueous systems. Calcium Oxalate is also relevant to investigations involving inorganic salts and chemical reaction mechanisms. Lab Wale offers Calcium Oxalate in a 500 gram pack for laboratory use. Since this compound can occur in hydrated forms, including the monohydrate, users should confirm the material form specified on the product label before calculating quantities or preparing experimental mixtures. Follow established laboratory safety practices and consult the applicable safety documentation for appropriate handling, storage, and disposal.
