Best Answer

Oxalic acid forms an oxalate salt when reacted with two equivalents of base - the name of the salt depends on the composition of the base. For example, if one mole of oxalic acid reacts with two moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), then one mole of sodium oxalate and two moles of water are formed. (Sodium oxalate is Na2C2O4.) If one mole of oxalic acid reacted with two moles of ammonia (NH3), then one mole of ammonium oxalate ((NH4)2C2O4) and two moles of water are formed.
