To determine the purity of citric acid by titration, you would need to titrate a known concentration of a base (such as NaOH) with a solution of citric acid. The amount of base required to neutralize the citric acid can be used to calculate the purity of the citric acid sample. The purity can be calculated by comparing the experimental results to the theoretical stoichiometry of the reaction.

Citric acid forms during the electron transport chain and citric acid cycle in cellular respiration. Citric acid is a six-carbon acid.

Citric acid is a crystalline acid (C6H8O7) from the fermentation of carbohydrates or from lemon, lime, and pineapple juices. Citric acid is used in preparing citrates, in flavorings, and metal polishes.

No, citric acid is not the scientific name of vitamin C. Vitamin C's scientific name is ascorbic acid. Citric acid is a different compound commonly found in fruits like lemons and oranges.

This makes an endothermic reaction and a drop in temperature. When the baking soda is added to the citric acid it begins to bubble. After a few seconds the citric acid will stop bubbling and remain calm.
