I need help with part c. I included the rest of the problem incase additianal info is needed. 

Consider the solubility of calcium oxalate (oxalate = C2O42-) in water:

CaC2O4(s)  ⟺ Ca2+(aq)  +  C2O42-(aq)

a)  Write the equilibrium expression for the reaction as written.

b)  Calculate the [Ca2+] from the dissolution of calcium oxalate in pure water.  pKsp = 7.90

c)  Calculate the [Ca2+] from the dissolution of calcium oxalate in a solution that contains 0.250 M ammonium oxalate.
