The reaction is:
H2SO3 + 2 NaOH = Na2SO3 + 2 H2O
just tried it. a dash of reagent grade fumaric acid was covered in janator strength non detergent ammonia. no observable reaction....
Fumaric acid is dried in an oven at a relatively low heat - below 130 degrees centigrade - to evaporate any water that might be left over from formation. If it is heated above 130 degrees, the fumaric acid starts to decompose and form maleic acid, maleic anhydride, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The acid may be dried for a number of reasons. Commercially because water has weight but no value, it is cheaper to transport completely dry fumaric acid. Water may also cause unwanted reactions with other chemicals which the fumaric acid is eventually added to. Removing the water then removes the reactions.
Malic acid is more acidic than fumaric acid because malic acid has an additional -OH group compared to fumaric acid, making it more polar and capable of forming stronger hydrogen bonds with water molecules, leading to a higher acidity. Additionally, malic acid can undergo resonance stabilization of the anion formed upon dissociation, further increasing its acidity compared to fumaric acid.
Fumaric acid is polar. It contains carboxylic acid functional groups which make it polar due to the presence of electronegative oxygen atoms.
There are many foods with fumaric acid in, some which you might not expect! There is a list below. It is also known as E297, and acts as a buffering agent to stop foods spoiling, so its also sort of a preservative. Fumaric acid is non-hygroscopic, which means that it won't dry out the product. It can be used in bread if the dough is being machine kneaded. And its also REALLY sour (so only a little will go in)! A selection of foods you can find fumaric acid in: * Sourdough bread * English muffins * Chewing gum * Sour sugar candy * Tortillas * Fruit juices * Powdered beverage mixes
Maleic acid and fumaric acid are cis-trans isomers of each other.
John Jacob Kessler has written: 'The nitrile of fumaric acid' -- subject(s): Fumaric acid, Nitriles
Fumaric acid being the trans isomer will have the least stearic hindrance as the carboxylic acid groups will be on the different sides of the double bonds-hence causing the least electronic repulsion. Fumaric acid will be more stable as compared to maleic acid.
1. Maleic anhydride is hydrated. This produces maleic acid. 2. Maleic acid is isomerised in the presence of a catalyst. 3. Fumaric acid is produced. Easy as that! (Except the temperature and pressure have to be kept controlled throughout)

yes
Yes. Yes it would
trans-HO2CCH=CHCO2H or C4H4O4
An aspartase is an enzyme which catalyzes the deamination of aspartic acid to fumaric acid and ammonia.
Fumaric acid is polar. It contains carboxylic acid functional groups which make it polar due to the presence of electronegative oxygen atoms.
