Maleic acid is a carbon-hydrogen-oxygen compound used in dyeing and finishing fabrics and as a preservative of oils and fats in a combustion analysis, a 1.054 g sample of maleic acid yields 1.599 g CO: and 0.327 g H2O. In a freezing-point depression experiment, a 0.615 g sample of maleic acid dissolved in 25 10 g of glacial acetic acid. CH2COOH(l) (which has the freezing-point depression constant K= 3.90 'Cm-1 and in which maleic acid does not ionize) lowers me freezing point by In a titration experiment, a 0 4250 g sample of maleic acid is dissolved in water and requires 34 03 mL of 0 2152 M KOH for its complete neutralization The pH of a 0 215 g sample of malek acid dissolved in 50 00 mL of aqueous solution is found to be 1 80
