Answer:
Explanation:
maleic acid ⇒ fumaric acid
ΔHreaction = ΔHproduct - ΔHreactant
ΔHproduct = -1336.0 kJ mol⁻¹
ΔHreactant = - 1359.2 kJ mol⁻¹.
ΔHreaction = -1336.0 kJ mol⁻¹ - ( - 1359.2 kJ mol⁻¹.)
= 1359.2 kJ mol⁻¹ -1336.0 kJ mol⁻¹
= 23.2 kJ mol⁻¹ .
Enthalpy of isomerization from maleic to fumaric acid is 23.2 kJ per mol.
