19N.2.hl.TZ0.a(iii)
A molecule of citric acid, C6H8O7, is shown.
The equation for the first dissociation of citric acid in water is
C6H8O7 (aq) + H2O (l) C6H7O7− (aq) + H3O+ (aq)
The dissociation of citric acid is an endothermic process. State the effect on the hydrogen ion concentration, [H+], and on Ka, of increasing the temperature.
