In this lab, we assumed that the only acid in our juice sample was citric acid, but other acids may be present as well. Ascorbic
acid (vitamin C) is another common acid found in fruit juices. How does the presence of other acids in our juice sample affect our calculated concentration of citric acid? Choose one answer from below. Choose one answer from below. The presence of other acids in our juice causes our calculated concentration of citric acid to be falsely low. The presence of other acids in our juice causes our calculated concentration of citric acid to be falsely high. The presence of other acids in our juice does not affect our calculated concentration of citric acid.
The presence of other acids in our juice causes our calculated concentration of citric acid to be falsely high
Explanation:
we need to account for the concentration of the other acids, hence the concentration of citric acid will be calculated high when it is indeed not that high
The presence of other acids in our juice causes our calculated concentration of citric acid to be falsely high.
Explanation:
The presence of other acids in our juice causes our calculated concentration of citric acid to be falsely high and we would have to account for the other acids in this case.
