Answer:

(a) 1:3

(b)

mmol of OH⁻ = 1.893 mmol

mmol of H₃C₆H₅O₇: 0.6310 mmol

mass of H₃C₆H₅O₇: 0.1212 g

mass % of H₃C₆H₅O₇ in orange juice: 1.37%

molarity of H₃C₆H₅O₇ in orange juice: 0.0726 M

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced chemical equation.

H₃C₆H₅O₇ + 3 OH⁻ → C₆H₅O₇³⁻ + 3 H₂O

(a) What is the stoichiometry of H₃C₆H₅O₇ to OH⁻?

The molar ratio of H₃C₆H₅O₇ to OH⁻ is 1:3

(b)

mmol of OH⁻: ?
