Sure, you can mix potassium chloride and citric acid; you can pretty well mix any two chemicals together if you wish, although there may not be any point in doing so. The only time you really have to worry about adding acid to another chemical is when cyanide ions are involved, such as potassium cyanide. You could then release poisonous gas (cyanogen) into the air and possibly poison yourself, if you added citric acid. Although citric acid is quite weak, as acids go, so it would not be as risky as adding something like nitric acid (etc.).

LaoYes, you can mix potassium chloride with citric acid. However, it is important to note that the resulting mixture may have a strong, tart taste due to the combination of the two ingredients. It's advisable to use the mixture in appropriate quantities and avoid ingesting it in large amounts.

What happens when potassium hydroxide and hydrolic acid mix?
When potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid mix, a neutralization reaction occurs, producing potassium chloride (KCl) and water (H2O). This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat. Potassium chloride is a salt that is soluble in water.
What happens when you mix potassium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid?
When potassium hydroxide (KOH) is mixed with hydrochloric acid (HCl), a neutralization reaction occurs. This reaction forms potassium chloride (KCl) and water (H2O). The products of this reaction are a salt (KCl) and water.
Can you mix vinegar and citric acid together?
No, it is not recommended to mix vinegar and citric acid together as they are both acids and could potentially react in an unpredictable or dangerous way.
What happens when you mix copper(II)sulfate and potassium chloride?
When you mix copper(II) sulfate and potassium chloride, a double displacement reaction occurs. Copper(II) chloride and potassium sulfate are formed as products. You will observe a color change as copper chloride is a blue solid.
How do I produce a 4 percent citric acid solution using 50 percent citric acid powder and distilled water?
To produce a 4% citric acid solution, you can mix 1 part of 50% citric acid powder with 11 parts of distilled water. For example, mix 1 mL of the citric acid powder with 11 mL of distilled water. This will give you a total of 12 mL of 4% citric acid solution.
