No. It is a reasonably weak acid with a pH of around 5. It wouldn't do any harm unless it came in contact with a cut or your eyes...
Added:
- Citric acid: (1,2,3-tricarboxy-propan-2-ol) 'tricarboxylic hydroxy-propane acid', weak,
- up to 8% in citric juices.
(0.005 mol/L for Oranges and grapefruits to 0.30 mol/L in lemons and limes)
pH in lemons < 2
- Chemical formula: C6H8O7
- Molar mass 192.1 g/mol
- pKa1=3.15
pKa2=4.77
pKa3=6.40
Strong acid or base means it ionizes completely in water. It has nothing to do with concentration or corrosiveness. There are seven strong acids:
Sulfuric
Nitric
Hydrochloric
Chloric
Perchloric
Hydrobromic
Hydroiodic
It's easy to remember the list because there are three of the most common industrial acids, three "chloric" acids, three "hydro" acids, and they all make a clumsy "7" on the Periodic Table.
There are dozens of strong bases and hundreds of "almost strong" bases.
What else can I help you with?
Which acid is more strong stearic acid or citric acid?
stearic acid is more strong i think so..........
Citric acid has a pH between 1 and 3 It is considered to be a?
strong acid
Which is a strong acid citric nitric or phosphoric acid?
Nitric acid is considered a strong acid, followed by phosphoric acid and then citric acid. Strong acids are ones that ionize completely in water to produce a high concentration of hydrogen ions. Nitric acid dissociates almost completely in water, making it a stronger acid compared to phosphoric and citric acid.
Does citric acid have a strong electrolyte conductivity?
Citric acid is a weak organic acid and therefore has a weak electrolyte conductivity compared to strong acids like hydrochloric acid. In aqueous solution, citric acid partially dissociates into ions, contributing to its conductivity.
What colour is citric acid in universal indicator?
Citric acid is generally colorless in universal indicator. It is a weak acid, so it does not exhibit a strong color change in the indicator solution.
Does citric acid have a taste?
Citric acid tastes a little like strong lemon juice. It has a bitter taste that is particularly strong on the back of the tongue.
Which acid is more strong stearic acid or citric acid?

Are vinegar and orange juice weak acids?
They contain citric acid. It is a weak acid

Is lemon juice a strong acid?
No. Lemon juice does contain Citric Acid though. Citric Acid is a natural preservative and has a sour taste

Is hydrochloric acid weaker than citric acid?
Hydrochloric acid is stronger than citric acid. Hydrochloric acid is a mineral acid with a lower pH level and is known for its strong corrosive properties. Citric acid, on the other hand, is a weak organic acid commonly found in citrus fruits and is less corrosive compared to hydrochloric acid.
What kind of bond does citric acid have?
Citric acid has covalent bonds. It is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms held together by sharing pairs of electrons. This type of bond is strong, allowing citric acid to maintain its structure and function as an organic acid.
Do strawberrys have citric acid?
No, strawberries do not naturally contain citric acid. They have malic acid and citric acid.
Is lemon jucie hydrochloric?
No, lemon juice is not hydrochloric. Citrus fruits are a source of citric acid, not hydrochloric acid.
