Oxalic acid imafalitsidwa kwambiri muzomera m'chilengedwe, yomwe imakhalapo ngati mchere wa oxalic acid. CW Scheele anali ndi nthawi yoyamba kupanga oxalate mu 1776.

Oxalate ndiye asidi amphamvu kwambiri pakati pa dicarboxylic acid. Kupatula kukhala ndi zinthu zambiri za carboxylic acid, ilinso ndi katundu wochepetsa ndipo imatha kuchepetsa manganese asanu ndi awiri a valence kukhala bivalent manganese. Izi nthawi zambiri zimagwiritsidwa ntchito poyesa kuchuluka kwa potaziyamu permanganate.

5 C2H2O4 + 2 KMnO4 + 3 H2SO4 →K2SO4 + 2 MNSO4 + 8H2O + 10 CO2;

Oxalic acid amathanso kuchepetsa chitsulo cha trivalent kukhala chitsulo cha bivalent. Chifukwa cha kusungunuka kwakukulu kwachitsulo cha bivalent m'madzi, tingagwiritse ntchito mfundoyi kuchotsa dzimbiri pa zovala.

Oxalic acid amatha kuchitapo kanthu ndi phosphorous pentachloride kupanga phosphorous oxychloride. C2H2O4 + PCl5 → POCl3 + CO + CO2 + 2 HCL.

Oxalic acid amatha kuchitapo kanthu ndi zitsulo zambiri kuti apange mchere wa oxalic acid. Kuphatikiza pa mchere wamchere wamchere ndi mchere wambiri wa chitsulo ndi oxalic acid mchere womwe susungunuka bwino m'madzi. Mchere wina wachitsulo, ngakhale susungunuka bwino m'madzi, ukhoza kupanga zovuta zomwe zimasungunuka m'madzi.

Fe2 (C2O4) 3 + 3 K2C2O4 + 6 H2O →2 K3 [Fe (C2O4) 3] • 6 H2O.

Potenthetsa, zitsulo zamchere ndi zamchere zamchere zamchere za oxalic acid mchere zimatha kutaya mpweya wa carbon monoxide ndikupanga carbonates ndi carbonate yopitirizabe kutenthedwa kuti iwonongeke kukhala oxide ndi carbon dioxide. Mchere wa oxalic acid wa faifi tambala, cobalt ndi siliva amatha kupanga chitsulo m'malo mwa nonmetal oxide.

Zinthu zowonongeka za oxalate ndi carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide ndi madzi.

Oxalate ndi oxalic acid mchere ndi poizoni. Mbewa, kudzera pakamwa, zimakhala ndi LD50 ya 2000 ~ 4000 mg / kg.
