Citric acid (right) is concentrated in citrus fruits and plays a central metabolic role in nearly every animal and plant cell.
1 answer:
<u>0.549 mol</u> of citric acid are in 1.50 qt of lemon juice (d = 1.09 g/mL) that is 6.82% citric acid.
<h3>What is citric acid?</h3>Citric acid is an organic compound with a chemical formula of . 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: Concentration of in the equilibrium mixture is 0.31 M
Explanation:
Equilibrium concentration of = 0.729 M
The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,
Initial conc. x 0 0
At eqm. conc. (x-2y) M (y) M (3y) M
The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be:
3y = 0.729 M
y = 0.243 M
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :
concentration of in the equilibrium mixture =
Thus concentration of in the equilibrium mixture is 0.31 M
