Ca + C2O4 gives?

Well for a start, does the C2O4 have a charge? I am guessing that it ths the oxalate ion, [C2O4]2- (from ethane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid aka ethanediocacid aka oxalic acid) hence producing Calcium Oxalate: CaC2O4

It seems probable, since that is mentioned explicitly as a bidentate ligand on practically every A2 syllabus.

Yup thats true. I wasn't sure what level of study the poster was at though... (as his sig seems to suggest AS...but the oxalate seemed too advanced for that y'see)
