Ammonium oxalate decomposition
Hi.
I decided to let evaporate some water from ammonium oxalate solution. I heated up and after 20 minut or so I realized that ammonium oxalate probably
decomposed. I read that first decompose to oxamide and then to CO and CO2. I didn't see any bubbles but I am not sure - did in temperatures bellow
100°C released carbon monoxide gas?

Why do you think it decomposed? It is stable up to 155.

I tried making and boiling such solution indoors. I didnt feel uncomfortable or die from that.

Did you read the sciencedirect article? It actually says the anhydrous salt decomposes at 155. The SM wiki is wrong as many of them are.

Sciencedirect article says that decomposition starts on 105°C.

No it doesn't, it says it loses water at 105, the anhydrous salt is stable up to 155.
Second reference: https://sci-hub.tw/https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1151-2916.1971....
Edit: next time: copy the DOI next to the abstract you see, go to sci-hub.tw and read the full length article. You didn't even had to read the
full-length article as the answer is in the introduction.
