Explanation:

Hello,

Citric acid is known as a commonly solid weak organic acid which has chemical formula C₆H₈O₇. It is produced naturally in citrus fruits such as orange or tangerine. In biochemistry, it is present as a necessary intermediate in the citric acid cycle, which occurs in the metabolism of all aerobic organisms.
