An acid is a substance with high levels of H+ ions. The higher the concentration of H+ ions, the greater the pH, thus more acidic. Citric acid, therefore, contains a surplus of unbonded H+ ions and that makes it an acid.
The carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) is what causes citric acid to be acidic. This group can donate a proton, which contributes to the acidity of the molecule.
No, strawberries do not naturally contain citric acid. They have malic acid and citric acid.
Citric acid monohydrate contains one molecule of water while citric acid anhydrous does not. Citric acid monohydrate is less concentrated compared to citric acid anhydrous. The choice between the two may depend on the specific application due to differences in solubility and reactivity.
No, citric acid is not heavier than water. The density of citric acid is lower than that of water, so citric acid will float on the surface of water.
The chemical formula of the citric acid is C6H8O7.

citric acid in all citrus fruits
No, strawberries do not naturally contain citric acid. They have malic acid and citric acid.
Citric acid is considered to be a weak acid.
Citric and acid ARE words, so the word form is citric acid!
The acid found in citrus fruits is called the citric acid and can provide a sour taste and helps fight of predators with its sting when it gets into your eyes so the acid in citrus fruit is citric :)
There are two acids in lemons; - #1 citric acid and #2 ascorbic acid (vitamin 'C').
Citric acid is not malleable.
It's very scientific... Apparently, the citric acid in your mouth causes a reaction with the sodium hydrogen carbonate and that causes the sour taste but I'm not completely sure on that so be careful. However, I am sure it is to do with the citric acid and that has sourness in it.
Lemon is not a citric acid but it chiefly contains citric acid!
No, it has fatty acids but not citric (citric = citrus)
Lemon juice contains approximately 1.44 grams per ounce of citric acid.
