Holmium(III) oxalate is the oxalate salt of holmium, with the chemical formula Ho2(C2O4)3. It exists in anhydrous and hydrated forms.

Properties

Holmium(III) oxalate decahydrate decomposes in heat to obtain the dihydrate, which is further heated to obtain the anhydrous form, and finally holmium(III) oxide is obtained. [1] It reacts with hydrochloric acid to obtain H[Ho(C2O4)2]·6H2O. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Calcium oxalate</span> Calcium salt of oxalic acid

Calcium oxalate (in archaic terminology, oxalate of lime) is a calcium salt of oxalic acid with the chemical formula CaC2O4 or Ca(COO)2. It forms hydrates CaC2O4·nH2O, where n varies from 1 to 3. Anhydrous and all hydrated forms are colorless or white. The monohydrate CaC2O4·H2O occurs naturally as the mineral whewellite, forming envelope-shaped crystals, known in plants as raphides. The two rarer hydrates are dihydrate CaC2O4·2H2O, which occurs naturally as the mineral weddellite, and trihydrate CaC2O4·3H2O, which occurs naturally as the mineral caoxite, are also recognized. Some foods have high quantities of calcium oxalates and can produce sores and numbing on ingestion and may even be fatal. Cultural groups with diets that depend highly on fruits and vegetables high in calcium oxalate, such as those in Micronesia, reduce the level of it by boiling and cooking them. They are a constituent in 76% of human kidney stones. Calcium oxalate is also found in beerstone, a scale that forms on containers used in breweries.
