Malic acid is a crystalline white solid (m.p. 100°C) and is highly soluble in water.

ONLY two M.P.s among the early arrivals sported the traditional silk topper when the Commons resumed yesterday after the Easter recess to hear Mr. R. A. Butler, Chancellor of the Exchequer, open his second Budget. The “be-toppered” members were Sir William Darling (C., South Edinburgh) and Mr. Gerald Nabarro (C., Kidderminster).
