3. Please provide detailed explanation.

An excess oxalic acid, H2C2O4, is added to an aqueous solution of the sample which
contains Calcium (Ca). Ammonia (NH3) is then added, which neutralizes the acid and
causes essentially all of the calcium in the sample. The reactions are:
2NH3 + H2C2O4 → 2NH, + C20,?
Ca?" (aq) + C»0,² (aq) → CaC,O, (s)
From the given reactions, which is/are the precipitate(s)?
A. Oxalate ion
B. Calcium (Ca)
C. Ammonium and oxalate ions
D. Calcium oxalate
