For example, if a pH 4.9 buffer is desired, the second pKa should be used and the conjugate acid/base pair for this pKa is dihydrogen citrate and hydrogen citrate. Each of these conjugate acid/base concentrations can be multiplied by the overall volume desired to get the desired volume. However, if not all four compounds are readily available (which is quite common), each one can be generated with acid/base chemistry. For example, if only 1.0 M citric acid is available and 100 ml of 0.2 M pH 7.0 buffer is required, 0.2*0.100/1.0 = 0.02 L or 20 ml of citric acid should be used and (0.15985*3+0.04015*2) *0.100/1.0= 0.055985 L or 55.985 ml of 1.0 NaOH should be added to the citric acid to make the required amount of citrate and hydrogen citrate. This makes up for 75.985 ml and the rest 24.015 ml should be topped up with distilled water.

If an organism is able to convert the sodium citrate?

Citrate, a Krebs cycle (i.e., TCA cycle or citric acid cycle) intermediate, is generated by many bacteria; however, utilization of exogenous citrate requires the presence of citrate transport proteins (permeases). Upon uptake by the cell, citrate is cleaved by citrate lyase to oxaloacetate and acetate. The oxaloacetate is then metabolized to pyruvate and CO2.


Is trisodium citrate organic or inorganic?

Sodium citrate is considered an organic compound.
