Chemical appearance: Oxalic acid presents as white transparent crystals that combine two water crystals. It appears in two types, the anhydrous and dihydrate form. The dihydrate has water molecules while the anhydrous one does not have any water crystals. Both types are soluble in water and are odorless Chemical application and strengths: The acid is made from the oxidation of glucose in the presence of nitric acid. It is also prepared by carboxylation of alcohol. The resulting acid has a strong reducing property while its conjugate base makes for a great chelating agent. This strength allows it to be used in the polishing of marble, bleaching and in removal of rust. It is also effective in the removal of dirt in leather, wood and aluminum products during the manufacturing process.
