|Section2= |Section3= }} Potassium hydrogenoxalate, also known as ''potassium bioxalate'', is a salt with formula KHC2O4 or K+·HO2C-CO2−. It is one of the most common salts of the hydrogenoxalate anion, and can be obtained by reacting potassium hydroxide with oxalic acid in 1:1 mole ratio. The salt is also known as potassium hydrogen oxalate, potassium bioxalate, acid potassium oxalate, or monobasic potassium oxalate. In older literature, it was also called sorrel salt, ''sal acetosella'', or (rather improperly) salt of lemon Potassium hydrogenoxalate occurs in some plants, notably sorrel. It is a commercial product, used in photography, marble grinding, and to remove ink stains. ==Properties== The anhydrous product is a white, odorless, crystalline solid, hygroscopic and soluble in water (2.5 g/100 g at room temperature). The solutions are basic. Below 50 °C the much less soluble potassium tetraoxalate forms and precipitates out of solution.〔 ChemicalBook (2007) (''Potassium binoxalate Product Description'' ) 〕 The monohydrate KHC2O4·H2O starts losing the water at 100 °C.〔 Mark Dugan (2009) (''Potassium binoxalate'' product data sheet ). Hummel Croton Inc. 〕 The anhydrous salt was found to have remarkable elastic anisotropy, due to its crystal structure that consists of relatively rigid columns of hydrogen-bonded hydrogenoxalate anions, joined into sheets by ionic K–O bonds.〔 H.
