Acid Concentration Calculate the concentration of citric acid (triprotic!) in lime juice using the following titration data. Acid base reaction: \( \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}_{7}(\mathrm{aq})+3 \mathrm{NaOH}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{O}_{7}{ }^{3-}(\mathrm{aq})+3 \mathrm{Na}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+ \) \( 3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) \) - Standard \( [\mathrm{NaOH}]: 0.435 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1} \) - Volume sample analysed: \( 10.00 \mathrm{~mL} \) - Average \( \mathrm{NaOH} \) titration volume: \( 16.05 \mathrm{~mL} \) - Molar mass Citric acid: \( 192.14 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \) Calculate your answer to 3 significant figures in units of \( \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{L} \). Do Not include any units, just your numerical value. The citric acid content of limes is marginally less than that of lemons. Answer:
