Q. What is the structural formula of fumaric acid?
A) ${\ \ \ \ \ H}_{3}C - C - COOH$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \parallel$
$\ \ HOOC - C - CH_{3}$
B) ${\ H}_{3}C - C - COOH$
$\parallel$
$H_{3}C - C - COOH$
C) $H - C - COOH$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \parallel$
$H - C - COOH$
D) $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ H - C - COOH$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \parallel$
$HOOC - C - H$
Explanation
(d)
The structural formula of fumaric acid is
$H - C - COOH$
||
HOOC$- C - H - H$
($trans\ \$butane1,4-dioic acid)
