What are scaling characteristics of oxalic acid dihydrate?

Oxalic acid can remove the rust due to its strong reducibility. The rust iron is ferric iron in the rusty spot, needless to dissolve into water. When touching oxalic acid, the ferric iron is reducted into bivalent iron which is dissolving in water.

Is it necessary to rinse the conical flask with some standard solution of oxalic acid before use?

I believe it is necessary to rinse the conical flask with oxalic acid before use, unless you are sure that the conical flask is really clean and dry before use. However to prevent having any types of unwanted chemical reaction when you pour the oxalic acid in the flask, it is best to rinse it with oxalic acid before use, so that there will not be errors like e.g. there is no pinkish color formed in the solution when you add the color indicator in the oxalic acid when doing titration.
