Answer:
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
This is a acid-base reaction, with the citric acid acting as the acid and the sodium hydroxide NaOH acting as the base.
We calculate the moles of citric acid using the information from the titration:
Now we convert moles to mass using the acid's molecular weight (192.13g/mol):
Finally we calculate the mass percent of citric acid in the sample:
