<h3>What is citric acid?</h3>

Citric acid is an organic compound with a chemical formula of $HOC(CO_2H)(CH_2CO_2H)_2$ . It is a weak organic acid that is colourless. Citrus fruits naturally produce it. It is a biochemical intermediary in the citric acid cycle, which is a process that all aerobic organisms go through during metabolism.

Every year, more than two million tonnes of citric acid are produced. It is frequently employed as a chelating agent, an acidifier, and a flavouring

Citrates, which include salts, esters, and the polyatomic anion present in solution, are derivatives of citric acid. Trisodium citrate is an example of the former; triethyl citrate is an example of an ester.

Answer:

15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄

Explanation:

First we need to look at the chemical reaction:

3 NH₃ + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄)₃PO₄

Now we calculate the number of moles of ammonia (NH₃):

number of moles = mass / molecular wight

number of moles = 5.24 / 17 = 0.308 moles of NH₃

Now from the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if 3 moles of NH₃ are produce 1 mole of (NH₄)₃PO₄

then 0.308 moles of NH₃ are produce X moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄

X = (0.308 × 1) / 3 = 0.103 moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄

mass = number of moles × molecular wight

mass = 0.103 × 149 = 15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄

3. I don’t know this one
4. A term base or glossary is a database containing single words or expressions related to a specific subject.
5. Strong acid is an acid that ionizes completely in aqueous solution. It always loses a proton (H+) when dissolved in water. Weak acid is an acid that ionizes partially in a solution. ... Because the rate of reaction depends upon the degree of dissociation αand strong acids have higher degrees of dissociation.
