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.
Calcium oxalate
calcium oxalate precipitates only in basic solution
The net ionic equation for the formation of calcium oxalate is Ca^2+(aq) + C2O4^2-(aq) -> CaC2O4(s). It represents the reaction of calcium ions and oxalate ions to form the insoluble salt calcium oxalate.
It means that there is an increased calcium oxalate in the urine and can be later grow as big kidney stones.Acid ash diet is recommended and drink plenty of water to dissolve calcium stones.
The chemical formula for Calcium Oxalate is CaC2O4
common sense says that more ll be the consumption more ll be stones but it is really illogical it has long held that consumption of too much calcium could promote the development of calcium kidney stones. However, current evidence suggests that the consumption of low-calcium diets is actually associated with a higher overall risk for the development of kidney stones This is perhaps related to the role of calcium in binding ingested oxalate in the gastrointestinal tract. As the amount of calcium intake decreases, the amount of oxalate available for absorption into the bloodstream increases; this oxalate is then excreted in greater amounts into the urine by the kidneys. In the urine, oxalate is a very strong promoter of calcium oxalate precipitation, about 15 times stronger than calcium.by Dr. Ankur Sharma
No, calcium oxalate is not soluble. This is what results in what are called gall stones, or kidney stones.
ammonium oxalate is added to calcium carbonate because in the reaction between the two a crystal is formed that contain the Ca+2 ion. This is useful because if you have a sample of sodium carbonate with an unknown molarity you can use the oxalate to extract this calcium and determine what the molarity of the unknown solution was
I'm in a college chemistry course, C117, and we used ammonium oxalate to test for the presence of Ca^2+.
no
The reaction between calcium nitrate and sodium oxalate should produce calcium oxalate as a by-product, along with sodium nitrate. Calcium oxalate is insoluble in water and will precipitate out of solution, while sodium nitrate will remain dissolved.
