Reference table of fruit iuice standards: 1) Which dominant acid should be used to express the titratable acidity for the following juice samples? a. Apple b. Lemon c. Tomato d. Passionfruit 2) Tartaric acid (Mr=150.09g/mol) is a diprotic acid. The stoichiometric ratio is thus 1mol tartaric acid to 2mol sodium hydroxide. What is the calculated tartaric acid result in terms of g/L tartaric acid if 10mL of sample was reacted with 7mL of 0.1005MNaOH ? Give your answer to 1 decimal place. 3) Citric acid (Mr of 192g/mol ) is a triprotic acid. What would the result be for this acid for the same titration sample as above? 4) A student wrote down the titratable acidity as 7.2% citric acid for a grapefruit sample. Why was this answer deemed to be incorrect and what would the correct answer be? Give both reported forms. 5) Could a sample which has been determined to contain 1.5g/L acetic acid also be described as containing 1.5g/L malic acid? Explain why or why not.
