potassium oxalate acid or base

potassium oxalate can behave as both an acid and a base depending on the context.

1. acidic properties: when dissolved in water, potassium oxalate can undergo hydrolysis to release oxalate ions and hydrogen ions (h⁺). this dissociation can make the solution acidic.

2. basic properties: potassium oxalate can also act as a weak base. it can accept protons (h⁺ ions) from stronger acids, forming oxalic acid and a potassium salt of the stronger acid. in this case, potassium oxalate acts as a base by accepting a proton.

overall, potassium oxalate exhibits amphoteric properties, meaning it can react as both an acid and a base depending on the circumstances.
