Can some kind person please show the full stochiometric equations for the reaction of MMS (NaClO2) and citric acid (C6H8O7)?
that is what is the full discription of this reaction in correct molar quantities ie with correct determination of the coefficients as described by sciencesoft.at/equation/index?
NaClO2 + C6H8O7 → ClO2 + NaCl + ?
I have search far an wide and still can't find a definative answer to this!!
As far as I can tell, citric acid has 3 acid COOH moieties and thus could donate a possible 3 Hydrogen atoms to the reaction.
