hey, can you please help with what possible equations there are with oxalic acid (s)

thanks

It is an acid. And it has the behaviour like a acid. You can neutralize it with alkaline compunds like NaOH.

HOOCCOOH + 2 NaOH => Na₂C₂O₄ + 2 H₂O

Or it can work as a reducer

HOOCCOOH => 2 CO₂ + 2H+ +2 e-
