Question

The concentration of citric acid (H3C6H5O7) in citric fruits ranges from 0.005 M to 0.30 M. Consider a 80.1 mL sample of pure lime juice with a citric acid concentration of 0.223 M. How many moles of citric acid are in the sample?

Answer 1

0.0179 citric acid

Step-by-step explanation:

0.223 M citric = 0.223 mol citric/L

# mol citric = (0.223 mol citric/L)(0.0801L)

= 0.0179 mol citric acid
