…1:1 molar ratio), HOOCCOONa, called sodium acid oxalate or monosodium oxalate, is obtained. Because one COOH group is still present in the compound, it has the properties of both a salt and an acid. Full neutralization (treatment of oxalic acid with NaOH in a 1:2 acid-to-base molar ratio) yields NaOOCCOONa,…
