Why is citric acid added to food?

2 answers:

C is wrong, the real answer is B: to add tartness, and the reason why is because citric acid comes from jam, jellies, and more! And that is why the answer B is the correct answer.

Hope this helped!

(P.S. if you buy jams and real the ingredients, it will say "citric acid." :))

A chemist titrates of a hypochlorous acid solution with solution at . Calculate the pH at equivalence. The of hypochlorous acid

const2013 [10]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A chemist titrates 110.0 mL of a 0.2412 M hypochlorous acid (HCIO) solution with 0.0613 M NaOH solution at 25°C. Calculate the pH at equivalence. The pKa of hypochlorous acid is 7.50. Round your answer to 2 decimal places

Answer: The pH of the solution is 10.09

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HClO$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.2412M\\V_1=110.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0613M\\V_2=?mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 0.2412\times 110.0=1\times 0.0613\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{1\times 0.2412\times 110.0}{1\times 0.0613}=432.8mL$

At equivalence, the number of moles of acid is equal to the number of moles of base. Also, the moles of salt which is NaClO will also be the same.

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

For HClO:

Molarity of HClO solution = 0.2412 M

Volume of solution = 110.0 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.2412M=\frac{\text{Moles of HClO}\times 1000}{110}\\\\\text{Moles of HClO}=\frac{(0.2412\times 110)}{1000}=0.026532mol$

For NaClO:

Moles of NaClO = 0.026532 moles

Volume of solution = [432.8 + 110] mL = 542.8 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of NaClO}=\frac{0.026532\times 1000}{542.8}=0.0489M$

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[pK_a+\log C]$

where,

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of weak acid which is hypochlorous acid = 7.50

C = concentration of the salt = 0.0489 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[7.50+\log (0.0489)]\\\\pH=7+3.09=10.09$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 10.09

Please HELP, ASAP! Homework due tomorrow and I need some help.

Ions are atoms with a charge other than zero. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positively charged particles) in the nucleus equals the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
Atoms can gain or lose electrons (not protons) resulting in a net charge other than zero. Atoms which lose electrons (usually metals) become positively charges, and atoms which gain electrons (usually nonmetals) become negatively charged.
