When your mother cut arum leaves, her hand begin to itch because it contains calcium oxalate and it is a water insoluble salt.

When it contact with skin we get an itching sensation because reaction of acid.

The chemical formula of calcium oxalate is CaC2O4 and it is a salt of oxalate.

The colour of calcium oxalate is colourless or white.
