Potassium oxalate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production |
General Description
Odorless white solid. Sinks in and mixes slowly with water. |
|
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble. |
|
Reactivity Profile
Potassium oxalate gives basic aqueous solutions. Reacts as a base to neutralize acids in reactions that generate heat, but less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10. Can serve as a reducing agent in reactions that generate carbon dioxide. |
|
Health Hazard
Inhalation of dust can cause systemic poisoning. Ingestion causes burning pain in throat, esophagus, and stomach; exposed areas of mucous membrane turn white; vomiting, severe purging, weak pulse, and cardiovascular collapse may result; if death is delayed, neuromuscular symptoms develop. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. |
|
Fire Hazard
Behavior in Fire: Loses water at about 160° and decomposes to carbonate with no charring. The reaction is not hazardous. |
