The beverage club soda contains potassium citrate, according to the label.
Using standardized solutions, I believe I know how to titrate a sample and solve the concentration of citric acid in a sample.
However, I'm hung up on this question. How do I relate the moles of acid to moles of salt?
Let's say potassium citrate is formed by:
1 C
6H
8O
7 + 3 KOH
1 C
6H
5K
3O
7 + 3 H
2O
Am I crazy? Am I overlooking something glaringly obvious, or is the mol:mol ratio of the salt and acid 1:1, and thus I can treat the concentration of acid as that of the salt?
Any guidance would be appreciated. I'm under the weather and going crazy right now.
