Description:
Sodium oxalate is the disodium salt of oxalic acid, appearing as a fine white crystalline powder. It is water-soluble and commonly used as a reducing agent, complexing agent, and precipitating agent in various chemical and analytical applications.

Applications:

• Analytical Chemistry: Used as a primary standard in permanganate titrations due to its stable and known purity.

• Precipitation Agent: Commonly used to precipitate calcium ions in solution as calcium oxalate.

• Reducing Agent: Acts as a mild reducing agent in redox reactions.

• Pyrotechnics: Occasionally used for special effects compositions or in experimental formulations where controlled oxalate decomposition is desired.

• Laboratory Reagent: Suitable for various synthesis and research purposes.

Handling & Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with strong oxidizers. Sodium oxalate is toxic if ingested and may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Handle with appropriate protective equipment.

Hazards:
