Solution Summary

This solution assists in determining the resulting pH.

Solution Preview

For this problem you need to know the acidity constant for citric acid. This is generally represented by the formula
Ka = [hydrogen ions][acid ions] / [acid]
It expresses the ratio of hydrogen ions and acid ions to acid in solution. For citric acid, it is 7.41 x 10^-4.

Next, it's important to know what type of acid you're dealing with. When calculating the pH of a ...
