Citric acid monohydrate

C6H8O7.H2O, 98%, CAS : 5949-29-1

Citric acid, a weak organic acid found in citrus fruits, has several applications in secondary school science studies. In chemistry experiments, it can be used as a pH regulator and buffer to control the acidity or alkalinity of solutions. Citric acid is also utilized in biology experiments to investigate enzyme activity and the citric acid cycle, a key metabolic pathway. Additionally, it is used in food science experiments to study its role as a natural preservative and flavor enhancer. Moreover, citric acid can be employed in environmental science studies to analyze water quality and measure acidity levels. Overall, studying citric acid provides valuable insights into chemistry, biology, and food science in secondary school science.
