? for Tryp on Oxalic Acid
I have posted this to no avail. Will Tryp of AM or someone else who is qualified tell me about reducing qualities about Oxalic Acid? Please? Like, what will it reduce, and such. That is all. Is there a place I can go to for info? Thanks.

Re: ? for Tryp on Oxalic Acid
Oxalic acid is not a reducing agent.

Re: ? for Tryp on Oxalic Acid
Sure it's a reducing agent. It may not often be employed as such in the lab, but it can be oxidized by other substances. It'll reduce KMnO4 for sure. That's also how it's used as a wood bleach, by reducing colorful compounds to colorless ones (so we know it works on at least some organic compounds too). But I don't have too many other useful examples for you. Ascorbic acid is more interesting if you want a more potent reducing agent.
