The formula of citric acid is C5H4O5, its gram molecular mass is 192.14, and the gram Atomic Mass of oxygen is 15.9994. Therefore, the fraction by mass of oxygen in citric acid is 5(15.9994)/192.14 or 0.4162 and the mass of oxygen in 20.2 units of citric acid is 0.4162(20.2) or 8.41 of the same units, to the justified number of significant digits.

Citric acid-purity by titration?

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.
