haha, can someone draw a diagram that looks less pixellated. i'll do it tomorrow if i don't forget

I read on the bottom of the page that something needed to be added, so I added that transformation from the cis-isomer to the trans-isomer in the classroom bit.

For common mortals, seeing this ingredient in the Saeco decalcifier, I did not find why it enters in the composition of a decalcifier. that would be cool to see. Thanks.


The section on the maleate ion should be expanded. It should also include an image. The maleate ion has one less hydrogen on one of either of the two ends (since maleic acid is symmetrical, both hydrogens can dissociate equally well). Fuzzform 23:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
