Is citric acid a liquid?
It is a solid. See the discussion page for further info. (It does not matter that it is dispersed, it still maintains its fundamental state of matter.) Citric acid (anhydrous) is a solid at temperatures below 153C (307F). Citric acid becomes liquid at 153C. At some temperature well above that, pure citric acid may enter vapor phase, but its likely the energetic state of atoms in the molecule at this temperature will cause it to come apart. The boiling point of a solution of citric acid in water depends on the concentration of citric acid in the water.
