I have a bottle of !00% liquid Citric Acid with the label showing Citric Acid and Water as contents. I need a 50% solution of the acid. Do I dilute this with water 50-50?

To make a 50% solution from liquid citric acid, you will need to use equal parts water and citric acid. This means that for every 1 part of citric acid, you will need 1 part of water. For example, to make 500 mL of 50% citric acid solution, you will need 250 mL of citric acid and 250 mL of water.
Yes, you can use any type of water to make a 50% citric acid solution. However, it is recommended to use distilled or deionized water to ensure the purity and consistency of the solution.
To make a 50% citric acid solution, simply mix equal parts of citric acid and water in a clean and dry container. Stir the mixture until the citric acid is completely dissolved in the water. It is important to use a clean container to avoid contamination.
Yes, you can adjust the concentration of the citric acid solution by adding more or less water. For example, if you want a higher concentration, you can use less water and more citric acid. Just remember to maintain the 1:1 ratio of water to citric acid to ensure a 50% solution.
The 50% citric acid solution should be stored in a clean, dry, and tightly sealed container. It is recommended to label the container with the date and concentration of the solution. Store the solution in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
