The volume of 0.25 M of NaOH required to titrate the oxalic acid in the leaves and the mass of calcium oxalate formed from the oxalic acid in the leaves has to be determined. Concept introduction: Rhubarb is a type of plant that contains oxalic acid. It is toxic and corrosive. The stem of Rhubarb is edible and not the leaves as the content of oxalic acid in leaves is quite high. The acid-base neutralization is the common reaction studied in chemistry. The acids like oxalic acid can be neutralized by a base like NaOH .
