Most bacteria prefer a fairly limited pH range; using citric acid (or vinegar, or any other weak organic acid) lowers the pH and makes it difficult for bacteria to grow.
Citric acid does rust nails because it dissolves it from steel.
No, citric acid is not a reducing agent. It acts as a weak acid and does not typically participate in reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions as a reducing agent.
Citric acid solutions can be unstable due to factors like exposure to air, light, and heat which can cause oxidation and breakdown of the citric acid molecules. Additionally, citric acid solutions may also be prone to microbial contamination, leading to degradation over time. Storage conditions and proper handling are crucial to maintaining the stability of citric acid solutions.
Citric acid is not produced by the human body. However Citric acid is one of a series of compounds involved in the physiological oxidation of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates to carbon dioxide and wate, and this process occurs in the human body.
Fatty acid oxidation produces energy in the form of ATP, as well as acetyl-CoA molecules which can enter the citric acid cycle to generate more ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Additionally, the oxidation process generates carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
Yes, apples do contain citric acid. They have about 10 percent citric acid that helps to prevent them from spoiling.

The citric acid reacts with the oxidation on copper.
Citric acid causes two chemical reactions with zinc- oxidation and reduction. Oxidation is where the acid removes the two electrons on the outer energy shell of each zinc atom. Reduction is where the hydrogen ions in the citric acid accept the electrons being released by the oxidation reaction and form the hydrogen gas. Hope this helps :)
Reaction 3, and 4.

Carbon dioxide is released during the Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle) in cellular respiration. This cycle takes place in the mitochondria of the cell and is responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP.
One acetyl group produces 1 molecule of FADH2 in the citric acid cycle.
oxidation of glucose, is the breakdown of glucose in ATP through four main process 1) glycolysis 2) preparation of pyruvic acid 3) citric acid cycle and 4) oxidative phosphorylation
it is the ascorbic or citric acid a the ascorbic comes from vitamin c or the citric acid from the fruit which gives it the sour taste
No, strawberries do not naturally contain citric acid. They have malic acid and citric acid.
