Hydrolysis if Maleic acid and reduction to succinic acid pre lab
Added by Victoria C.
Step 1
- To hydrolyze maleic acid, it can be reacted with water in the presence of a catalyst such as sulfuric acid. - The reaction will result in the cleavage of the double bond in maleic acid, forming two carboxylic acid groups. - The product of the hydrolysis reaction Show more…

Chem 8B Post Lab Questions Name: Clarissa Suelene Lab Conversion of Maleic Anhydride to Fumaric Acid Lab Data: Amount of maleic anhydride used: 0.422 mol Amount of maleic acid collected: 0.041 mol Amount of maleic acid lost in solution: 0.056 mol Theoretical yield of fumaric acid: 0.056 mol Actual Yield of fumaric acid: 0.1023 mol Yield of fumaric acid: 61.92% Melting point of maleic acid: 133°C Melting point of trans-cinnamic acid: Melting point of mixture: Questions: 1. Sketch the structures of maleic and fumaric acids. 2. What is the structural relationship between the two? 3. How does the structural isomerism of each acid affect its physical properties as demonstrated in this lab? (solubility, mp; stability to heat?)
