Is calcium oxalate soluble in water?

Answer 1

No, calcium oxalate, #CaC_2O_4#, is not soluble in aqueous solution.

The solubility of calcium oxalate is listed at 6.7 mg/L, or #6.7 * 10^(-3)"g/L"#, far less than the #"1 g/L"# threshold used to distinguish between soluble and insoluble compounds.

In fact, calcium oxalate is one of the major components of kidney stones.
