CuSO₄ 5H₂O + K₂C₂O₄ H₂O to produce K₂[Cu(C₂O₄)₂], K₂SO₄, and H₂O

this is how I've balanced this reaction...is it right

CuSO₄ 5H₂O + 2[K₂C₂O₄] H₂O ------K₂[Cu(C₂O₄₀₂] 2H₂O, K₂SO₄, and 3H₂O

Please Help

That is a link. If you click on it you'll see the answer.
Just in case here is the answer inlined:

Code: Select all

 CuSO4*5H2O + 2 K2C2O4*H2O = K2&#91;Cu&#40;C2O4&#41;2&#93;*2H2O + K2SO4 + 5 H2O
