Question

Write out the mechanism (using correct curved arrow notation) for the acid-catalyzed, cis-trans isomerization of maleic acid (into fumaric acid)

If the electrophilic addition reaction of maleic acid with HCl had gone to completion what would be the structure of the addition product(s). Be sure to take into account any stereochemical consequences of the reaction.
