The stems and leaves of many plants contain oxalic acid (H2C2O4) or sodium oxalate. A standard analysis for determining the amount of oxalate ion (C2O4 -2) in a sample is to precipitate oxalate out with the calcium ion. The reaction often involves the following reactants. Complete the following information for this reaction. Sodium oxalate and calcium chloride

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
