Rexspidy Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Compare the acidity between maleic Acid and fumeric Acid.Please explain it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabcockHall Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Why don't you attempt to explain it first? Then we can comment on it. A good place to start is to give the pKa values and indicate the structural difference between the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexspidy Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 No I need the explanation based on Structure and deprotonation If I don't have pka values then how can it be explained as on first deprotonation it shows maleic Acid stronger but if we go with second time deprotonation it shows reversible.

Fuzzwood Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 So, again, why don't you attempt it first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabcockHall Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 As a general rule discussion boards like this don't dump answers to questions. The participants help the OP help himself or herself. I suggest that you Google "Williams pKa table" if you don't already have the values. If you do, what is the structural difference between the two? I am not sure what you mean about the second pKa values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
