Needed table values (constants) for ascorbic acid, C6H8O6:
pKa = 4.10 , molar mass = 176.12 g mol−1.
Formula:
pH = 0.5*{pKa - log(Ca)} , where Ca = ascorbic acid concentration in mol/L .
Calculus:
4.00 g/L Ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) = 4.00(g/L) / 176.12(g/mol) = 0.0227 mol/L Asc.acid
pH = 0.5 * {4.11 - log(0.0227)} = 0.5 * {4.11 + 1.64} = 2.88 => about 2.9

Is amla is acid or base?
amla is acid..
Is the amla is acid or base?
Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is acidic in nature due to its high vitamin C content. It has a low pH level, making it more acidic than basic.
What are the effects of ascorbic acid and citric acid in browning food?
Covering the food with citric acid prevents browning because the acid reduced the pH below the optimum level for the enzyme (polyphenoloxidase) to catalyze the oxidative enzymatic browning reaction. Covering the food in ascorbic acid also prevents browning because ascorbic acid is an antioxidant which interferes with the browning reaction by preventing the intermediate products from being converted into melanins (the brown pigment).
