What numbers and atoms are present in citric acid?

Answer 1

We can ascertain this by looking at the molecular/chemical formula for citric acid which is:

C6H8O7

-- The subscript 6 tells us there are 6 carbon atoms per molecule of citric acid

Answer 2

The chemical formula of the citric acid is C6H8O7. Consequently citric acid contain:

- 6 atoms of carbon

- 8 atoms of hydrogen

- 7 atoms of oxygen

Total: 21 atoms in formula.

Answer 3

critic acid, or another word vinegar has a molecular formula CH3CH

so four hydrogen atoms

Answer 4

Citric acid is an organic acid and all organic acids contain hydrogen.

Answer 5

Citric acid is a weak organic acid with the formula C6H8O7. So there are 6 carbons

Answer 6

3 hydrogens per molecule of phosphoric acid, H3PO4.

Answer 7

Citric acid has 21 atoms in the molecule.
