To study the role of water in showing acidic properties ​

Answer 1

When solid oxalic acid dissolved in water, it dissociates , H+ - ions is formed, so acidic properties can be observed.

Step-by-step explanation:

When solid oxalic acid dissolved in water, it dissociates , H+ - ions is formed, so acidic properties can be observed.

C2H2O4 ---->
`H^(+)` +
`C_(2)HO_(4)^(-)`

`C_(2)HO_(4)^(-) ----> H^(+) + C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)`

When oxalic acid is solid, there are no free moving H+ - ions , so acidic properties can not be observed.
