I want to make a mixture of these three components, ammonia liquid , acetic acid, citric acid.. what is the suitable temperature for this reaction to occur and what is the equation that should specify the amounts we need.. and products?
Hello, what you really want to reach?
Ammonia will react with acetic acid at room temperature with formation ammoniacetate. As acetic acid more strong acid than citric in final you will have ammoniacetate + citric acid.
Hope this info will help you good luck!
I want to make a solvent from this reaction but am not sure about the product.. thus as you said the rxn will be between ammonia and acitic acid only! so will the acitic acid have any effects on the properties of the final product?
Hello depends from stoichiometric quantities you can receive
1. ammoniacetate + citric acid if your ammonia molar quantity is equal to acetic acid.
2. If you add more ammonia that require for reaction with acetic acid you will receive the ammoniacetate + Ammonium citrate which can be 1, 2, or 3 ammonia citric acid depends from ammonia quantity.
