Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
Iminodiacetic acid (IDA) is more soluble in methanol than fumaric acid. This is due to the presence of two carboxylate groups in IDA, which can form hydrogen bonds with methanol molecules. Fumaric acid, on the other hand, has only one carboxylate group and is less polar, leading to weaker interactions with methanol.
