Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Citric acid?
The molar mass of Citric acid (C6H8O7) is 192.123 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 21 atoms in one formula unit: 7 × 15.999 + 6 × 12.011 + 8 × 1.008 = 192.123.
What is the molecular weight of Citric acid?
192.123 — the same number as the molar mass, but as a dimensionless ratio rather than in g/mol. The two terms describe the same arithmetic, so a molecular weight of 192.12 and a molar mass of 192.12 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Citric acid?
100 ÷ 192.123 = 0.5205 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Citric acid?
By mass, Citric acid is 58.29% oxygen, 37.51% carbon, 4.20% hydrogen. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 192.123.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Citric acid?
21: 7 oxygen, 6 carbon, 8 hydrogen. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Citric acid contains 21 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
