The video tutorial explains how to write the chemical formula for oxalic acid. It begins by identifying oxalic acid as an acid, which typically starts with hydrogen. The tutorial then discusses the absence of 'hydro' in the name, indicating the presence of three elements and the need for a polyatomic ion table. The oxalate ion is identified as C2O4 with a 2- charge. The tutorial concludes by balancing the charges, resulting in the formula H2C2O4.
