The KIA medium has an iron salt-ferric ammonium citrate- and sodium thio sulfate. The ferric ions bind with the hydrogen sulfide to then form ferrous sulfide, which gives off a black percipitate that can be seen on the media.
The ferric chloride solution is acidic.
Potassium citrate is an alkaline salt.
Background:Simmons' Citrate Agar is a defined, selective medium that tests for an organism's ability to use citrate as a sole carbon source and ammonium ions as the sole nitrogen source.The medium contains citrate, ammonium ions, and other inorganic ions needed for growth.It also contains bromothymol blue, a pH indicator. Bromothymol blue is green at pH below 6.9, and then turns blue at a pH of 7.6 or greater.SO:Sometimes, it is possible to detect growth on the citrate slant without the accompanying color change to blue. This is most likely due to insufficient incubation. Either a combination of blue color and growth or growth alone without the blue color should be scored as a positive for the citrate use test.
The pH of ferric nitrate solution is acidic.

Yes, albeit a very minuscule amount (less than 0.002%), in the form of ammonium ferric citrate.
Ammonium ferric citrate is a food additive with E number E381 used as an acidity regulator. It is a green or reddish-brown powder which is very soluble in water.
Ammonium citrate formula is: C6H14N2O7.
