At 100 degrees C, malic acid is still a solid. At 130 degrees C, malic acid will decompose and form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gases.

Do apples contain malic acid?

Of all the acid in green apples, 90% of it will be malic acid. This naturally-occuring acid will be found exclusively in the form of the L-isomer, whereas synthetic malic acid is made up of both L- and D-malic acid


How is malic acid purified?

Malic acid can be produced in a pure form by crystallising it out of water when it has been made synthetically from maleic anhydride, which in turn is made simply from butane gas. This reaction process leads to a mixture of the two malic acid isomers. To purify the natural form of L-malic acid, it is necessary to remove it from apples or other fruits where malic acid is present in a high concentration. This can be done by fractionated distillation. Green apples are best for this since 90% of the acid present in them is malic acid.


What is differnece in dl-malic acid and malic acid?

There are two different structures of malic acid, an L-isomer and a D-isomer. These two molecules are identical like your left and right hands. While they have the same atoms and bonds, they are not necessarily interchangeable, just as you cannot fit your left hand in a right hand-shaped hole. L-Malic acid is produced naturally in fruits. 90% of the acid in apples is malic acid. When malic acid is produced synthetically, a mixture of the two isomers is obtained which is called DL-malic acid (because it contains both D- and L-malic acid). When you eat DL-malic acid, your body digests the L-malic acid normally (it is part of the Kreb's cycle), but the D-malic acid is excreted in the urine. A 1967 study by the WHO shows evidence that D-malic acid is toxic and causes renal damage. When purchasing malic acid, if it is called "malic acid" it is likely DL-malic acid. If the natural form is desired, purchase specifically L-malic acid.


Freezing temperature of formic acid?

The freezing point of formic acid is 8.4 degrees Celsius (47.1 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, formic acid will solidify into a crystalline form.


Is stearic acid a liquid or a solid at a room temperature of 70 degrees Celsius?

If your room temperature is 70 C then stearic acid would be in a liquid form as its melting point is 69.6 C. For the rest of us humans with a room temperature of around 24 C stearic acid is solid


Is malic acid found in apple juice good or bad for your child?

Malic acid found naturally in apple juice will be the L-isomer exclusively. This is the natural form of malic acid. Synthetic malic acid - the acid which has been produced rather than extracted - is a mixture of the two isomers, named D-malic acid and L-malic acid. Since it is impossible to separate the two, the mixture is often referred to as DL-malic acid. Natural L-malic acid has been declared suitable for all ages. D-malic acid should not be given to very young infants because they have not yet developed the enzymes to utilise malic acid in the Krebs cycle (which is how older humans metabolise it). If the apple juice is marketed for infants, it will not have D-malic acid added to it and will therefore be safe. Malic acid which has been used as an additive will usually have the E-number 296 and is likely to be synthetic. Any malic acid can be considered as a flavour enhancer or a preservative and is neither good nor bad for your child so long as they are older than infant age and brush their teeth regularly.


Does a bottle of acetic acid contain liquid or solid in a lab with a window open at 10 degrees Celsius on a chilly day?

That is 50o Fahrenheit, which is not that chilly. So, I will surmise that the bottle will contain a liquid.


Does sulphuric acid freeze?

Yes, sulphuric acid will freeze at a temperature below 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, the liquid will solidify into a crystalline form.


What would be the temperature of ice in degrees Celsius?

The temperature of ice is 0 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, ice is in its solid form.


What is the melting point for water in degrees celsius?

The melting point of water is 0 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, water transitions from its solid form (ice) to its liquid form.


What state is lithium at 100 degrees Celsius?

At 100 degrees Celsius, lithium is a solid. It has a melting point of 180.5 degrees Celsius, so at 100 degrees Celsius, it would still be in solid form.


What state is mercury at 400 degrees Celsius?

At 400 degrees Celsius, mercury would be in liquid form. Mercury has a melting point of -38.8 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 356.7 degrees Celsius.
