Adding anything to a mixture will increase the mass.
calcium oxalate precipitates only in basic solution
Oxalates are salts of oxalic acid containing oxalate ion. Oxalate ion is a dianion. Upon protonation, oxalate ion forms a commonly known compound, oxalic acid. The commonly known oxalate salts are sodium oxalate, potassium oxalate etc. The calcium metal ion reacts with oxalate ion to form an insoluble precipitate of calcium oxalate, which is the primary constituent of most of the common kind of Kidney stones.
The chemical formula for Calcium Oxalate is CaC2O4

Ca(NO3)2 + (NH4COO)2 = Ca(COO)2 + 2 NH4NO3 Calcium oxalate is a white precipitate.

Calcium carbonate is rather INsoluble, so there is no solution of it. I do not know why ammonium oxalate is added to a calcium carbonate solution. Calcium oxalate will then precipitate out of the solution. The ammonium and carbonate will create a weakly bond compound. Actually, more of the ammonium ion will be in solution as free ammonia and more of the carbonate ions will be in solution as free carbon dioxide. That is the nature of those two substances. So, you will have a solution that has a calcium oxalate precipitant on the bottom and is slowly giving off ammonia and carbon dioxide.
Examples are: calcium carbonate, calcium oxalate, calcium fluoride etc.
Calcium oxalate crystals are the most common cause of kidney stones. They are precipitated in the kidneys by eating tomatoes, leafy vegetables and excessive rice.
That's a good thing. Calcium Oxalate is the primary cause of kidney stones - you want as little calcium oxalate going through your kidneys as possible.
No, calcium oxalate is not soluble. This is what results in what are called gall stones, or kidney stones.
I don't know, but for those who are concerned about the oxalic acid in spinach and other edible plants, all you have to do is eat it with a good source of calcium to avoid absorbing oxalic acid into your system. Calcium forms an extremely insoluble precipitate with oxalate and if in the digestive system at the same time with the oxalate will combine with it and cheerfully escort it all the way thru the intestinal track and out of your system. If, however, the oxalic acid is absorbed in high enough quantities (how high is high enough may vary from one person to the next, depending on how rapidly it is entering the system and how well the person can metabolize the oxalic acid once it is in the system), and if it is still there when calcium is later consumed, there is the risk of the precipitation forming either in the system somewhere or in the kidneys, forming calcium oxalate stones. Enough magnesium in the diet will prevent the formation of oxalate stones, but I don't know if the normally high magnesium content of greens such as spinach is enough by itself to prevent the precipitation of calcium oxalate. At any rate, even if it isn't, with enough calcium present at the same time as the oxalic acid, the insoluble calcium oxalate will form and will not be absorbed. There is no reason to avoid these nutritious greens out of fear of oxalate kidney stones.
