This question is about acid–base titrations.
Citric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide.
C6H8O7(aq) + 3 NaOH(aq) → Na3C6H5O7(aq) + 3 H2O(l)
0 2 . 1 A student makes a solution of citric acid by dissolving some solid citric acid in water.
Describe a method to add an accurately known mass of solid to a beaker to make
a solution.
[2 marks]
0 2 . 2 The student dissolves 0.834 g of citric acid in water and makes the solution up to
500 cm3
Calculate the concentration, in mol dm–3, of citric acid in this solution.
