Solution

FeCl3 with oxalic acid in aqueous KOH solution to form complex, K3[Fe(C2O4)3].
The reaction is,
FeCl3+3H2C2O46KOH−−−K3[Fe(C2O4)3]+3KCl+6H2O


The secondary valencies are ​non-ionisable. These are satisfied by neutral molecules​ or negative ions. ​A secondary valency is equal to the coordination number.

Coordination number=6
Secondary valency is 6
