Directions: Determine the ACID CONCENTRATION using this formula:

A.

B. a
b x (weight of sugar or juice)

1. Given: % initial acid 0

Desired acid 3.2 %
% purity of citric acid 100 %
Weight of juice 20 kg

2. Given: % initial acid = 20

A= 6.2 %
% purity of citric acid 90 %
Weight of juice 75 kg
3. Given: % initial acid 56
B= 60.4 %
% purity of citric acid 95 %
Weight of juice 82 kg

4. Given: % initial acid 75

Desired acid 43.4 %
% purity of citric acid 100 %
Weight of juice 90 kg

5. Given: % initial acid= 45

B= 80.6 %
% purity of citric acid 100 %
Weight of juice 100 kg
