Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
full detailed the method and fulfilled the validity criteria
Conclusions:
The half-life of the hydrolysis of maleic anhydride to maleic acid in water at 25.1℃ is approximately 22 seconds.
Executive summary:

This data was published in a famous acdamic publication, and the method is acceptable.

Maleic anhydride is readily hydrolyzed to maleic acid under aqueous conditions, the half-life of the hydrolysis of maleic anhydride to maleic acid in water at 25.1℃ is approximately 22 seconds, maleic acid is expected to be stable in water since there are no functional groups that would lead to further hydrolysis. The information can be used as a supporting study.
