Which is better phosphoric or citric acid?
Phosphoric acid is primarily used in cola, while citric acid is typically found in citrus-flavored drinks. Phosphoric acid is stronger in most cases, but citric actually tends to be more damaging over the long-run. Strong acids are 100\% ionized in solution. Weak acids are only slightly ionized.
What happens when you add vinegar to citric acid?
The release of gas (Carbon Dioxide, CO2) is why they bubble when they are mixed. Vinegar and citric acid are acidic and baking soda is a mild base (alkaline), so they neutralize one another to create a salt and water. All the chemicals are safe to touch (though they will sting if you get them in your eyes).
What is another name for phosphoric acid?

What is the difference between phosphoric acid and citric acid?
The key difference between phosphoric acid and citric acid is that phosphoric acid is a weak mineral acid, whereas citric acid is a weak organic acid. Phosphoric acid and citric acid are weak acids. Therefore, these acids cannot dissociate completely into ions; they can only partially dissociate into the ions.
Can we use citric acid instead of acetic acid?
Citric acid has a higher metal complexation capacity compared with acetic acid (Essington, 2004). This results in a faster passivation (chromium enrichment) of the surface oxide of stainless steel compared with non-complexing acids such as nitric acid (Kremer, 2004, Zhang et al., 1985).
How do you make citric acid from vinegar?
We recommend using 4\% Citric Acid. So if you’ve got an old Dri-Pak white vinegar trigger bottle, dissolve 20g of Citric Acid into around 490ml water and decant it in to the bottle. If you’ve got a really tough limescale job to tackle, then you can go as high as 10\% (40g).
How do you make acetic Orcein?
Aceto-orcein preparation (1\% solution) This solution is prepared by pouring 55 mL boiling glacial acetic acid over 1 g orcein powder. The solution is cooled, 45 mL of distilled water added, and filtered. This solution is unstable and should be prepared fresh before use.
