Kidney stones form in an equilibrium process where calcium ions Ca²+ reacts with oxalate ions, C₂O4²- (aq) (form oxalic acid found in many of the foods we eat), to form solid calcium oxalate, CaC₂O4(s), represented by the following equation: Ca²+(aq) + C₂04²(aq) ⇒ CaC₂O4(s) Explain how the formation of calcium carbonate might be prevented, using Le Chatelier's Principle.
