Sodium oxalate is an odorless white solid. Sinks and mixes slowly with water. (USCG, 1999)


Sodium oxalate is an odorless white solid. Sinks and mixes slowly with water. (USCG, 1999)|Sodium oxalate is an organic sodium salt consisting of sodium and oxalate ions in a 2:1 ratio. It has a role as a poison and a reducing agent. It is an oxalate salt and an organic sodium salt. It contains an oxalate(2-).|A strong dicarboxylic acid occurring in many plants and vegetables. It is produced in the body by metabolism of glyoxylic acid or ascorbic acid. It is not metabolized but excreted in the urine. It is used as an analytical reagent and general reducing agent.

Drug Information

Materials that add an electron to an element or compound, that is, decrease the positiveness of its valence. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed) (See all compounds classified as Reducing Agents.)

Inhalation or ingestion causes pain in throat, esophagus, and stomach; mucous membranes turn white; other symptoms include vomiting, severe purging, weak pulse, cardiovascular collapse, neuromuscular symptoms, and kidney damage. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation. (USCG, 1999)

Act promptly] INHALATION: move to fresh air; if exposure to dust is severe, get medical attention. INGESTION: give dilute calcium lactate, lime water, or milk; administer gastric lavage; consult physician; watch for edema of the glottis and delayed constriction of esophagus. EYES or SKIN: flush with water. (USCG, 1999)
