calculate the mass percent of oxalate ion in H2C2O4*2H2O and (NH4)2C2O4*H2O
1) in H2C2O4*2H2O mass percentage of C2O4^-2 = (mass of C2O4^-2 / total formula mass) x100
= (88/126) x100
= 69.84%
2) in (NH4)2C2O4*H2O mass percentage of C2O4^-2 = (mass of C2O4^-2 / total formula mass) x100
= (88/142) x100
= 61.97%
