5 g of potassium oxalate react to produce 0.03 moles of calcium oxalate.

Calcium oxalate (CaC₂O₄) is obtained by the reaction of 5 g of potassium oxalate (K₂C₂O₄).

We can calculate the moles of CaC₂O₄ obtained considering the following relationships.

$5 g K_2C_2O_4 \times \frac{1molK_2C_2O_4}{184.24gK_2C_2O_4} \times \frac{1molCaC_2O_4}{2molK_2C_2O_4} = 0.03molCaC_2O_4$

5 g of potassium oxalate react to produce 0.03 moles of calcium oxalate.
