Chapter 23, Problem 23.108MP
Fumaric acid is an organic substance widely used as a food additive. Its elemental composition is 41.4% C, 3.5% H, and 55.1% O. A solution made by dissolving 0.1500 g of fumaric acid in water and diluting to a volume of 100.0 mL gave rise to an osmotic pressure of 240.3 mm Hg at 298 K. On titration of a sample weighing 0.573 g, 94.1 mL of 0.105 M NaOH was required to reach an equivalence point. Fumaric acid reacts with 1 mol of H2 to give a hydrogenation product.
- (a) What is the empirical formula of fumaric acid?
- (b) What is the molecular weight of fumaric acid?
- (c) Draw three possible structures for fumaric acid.
- (d) If fumaric acid contains a trans double bond, which of your structures is correct?
