] preparing DL-Malic acid stock solution (di)Sodium D,L-malate is available from Sigma-Aldrich (# CDS023113) and probably dissolves to give a 3M solution which is slightly alkaline. If pK2 is 5.1, then an insignificant amt of malic acid should bring the pH down to 7 (If you have to add a significant

As the pKa1 of malic acid is 3.4, it may be that the partially neutralized malic acid salt is less soluble than the acid or the fully neutralized salt. The pKa2 of malic acid is 5.1. Contact the people at Hampton Research https://www.hamptonresearch.com/contact_us.aspx and ask them. They sell

Dear all, we’ve recently having trouble preparing a 3 M stock solution of DL-Malic Acid, pH 7 (which we had, so it’s doable!). When we reach pH 3 - 4 the solution turns milky white and does not goes back to a clear solution even when the pH is raised. Does anybody have any advice on how to get
