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.
Citric acid is a white crystalline powder at room temperature.
Citric acid is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a sour taste.

Citric acid does not have a specific color in iodine. Iodine is used to detect the presence of starch, not citric acid. Citric acid typically appears as a white, crystalline powder and is not known to react with iodine in a way that produces a visible color change.
It is a solid. See the discussion page for further info. (It does not matter that it is dispersed, it still maintains its fundamental state of matter.) Citric acid (anhydrous) is a solid at temperatures below 153C (307F). Citric acid becomes liquid at 153C. At some temperature well above that, pure citric acid may enter vapor phase, but its likely the energetic state of atoms in the molecule at this temperature will cause it to come apart. The boiling point of a solution of citric acid in water depends on the concentration of citric acid in the water.
To separate citric acid from water, you can use a process called crystallization. By cooling the citric acid solution, crystals of citric acid will form. These crystals can then be separated from the remaining liquid using filtration.
You can buy citric acid powder for making bath bombs at craft stores like Michaels or kitchen supply stores like Gourmet Warehouse in the Vancouver area. Health food stores may also carry citric acid powder. Additionally, you can try online retailers like Amazon for a wider selection.
There are approximately 393.92 grams of citric acid powder in a cup. Calculations are as follows: 236.588236 cm3 / 1 US cup X 1.665 grams of citric acid / 1 cm3 of citric acid = 393.9194129 grams of citric acid / 1 US cup Conversion from US cups to cubic centimeters obtained from Google calculator http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=1+cup+to+cubic+centimeters
No, citric acid powder is a food additive commonly used as a flavoring agent and preservative. It does not provide energy. Energy typically comes from the macronutrients in food, such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, which are broken down during digestion to produce energy for the body.
Citric acid typically appears as a white, odorless, crystalline powder. It is soluble in water and commonly used as a natural preservative in food and beverages.
Red cabbage contains a pigment molecule called anthocyanin that changes color depending on the pH of its environment. When citric acid is added, it lowers the pH of the solution, causing the molecule to change from a blue color to a purple one.
