2. Use the CRC Handbook or Merck Index to determine the formulas and molar masses of the following dicarboxylic acids. These books can be found in the college library or the chemistry lab. Note, dicarboxylic acids usually have several names; do not let this confuse you. For instance succinic acid can also be called amber acid, asuccin, butanedioic acid, 1,2- ethanedicarboxylic acid, ethylenesuccinic acid, wormwood, or wormwood acid, Hint you will need this information for your report. So, be sure...
