Citric acid is a weak organic acid with the chemical formula C6H8O7. Its structure consists of three carboxyl groups (-COOH) and one hydroxyl group (-OH), making it a tricarboxylic acid. It is commonly found in citrus fruits and plays a key role in metabolic processes, particularly in the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle). Additionally, citric acid is used as a natural preservative and flavoring agent in food and beverages.
Diaphorina citri was created in 1908.
Oranges primarily contain citric acid. It gives oranges their tart flavor and plays a role in their preservation by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Acid fractional distillation is a process that separates different components based on their acid properties by using a fractional distillation setup with an acidic solvent. The mixture is heated, and the components with different acid properties vaporize at different temperatures. As the vapor rises through the column, it condenses and collects in separate fractions based on their acid properties. This allows for the separation of components with varying acid properties.
H2SO4 and water
Vinegar is CH3COOH its also called acetic acid or ethanoic acid
Acid rain can harm biotic components by damaging plant leaves, impacting aquatic ecosystems by lowering the pH of water bodies, and affecting the health of organisms that rely on these ecosystems. It can also degrade abiotic components like buildings, monuments, and infrastructure by corroding them due to the acidic nature of the rain.
The components of lead acid batteries include: * The outer case, or housing. * Plates [Positive and Negative]. * Intercell connectors. * Terminals [Positive and Negative]. * Electrolyte [Sulphuric Acid].
