Citric acid (C6 H8 O7)  named for its natural occurrence in citrus fruits, is produced in large quantities industrially. This is often achieved through large-scale fermentation of sucrose and/or glucose. The reaction involving sucrose is summarized below:  C12 H22 O11 + 3O2 ------> 2C6 H8 O7 + 3H2O  How many grams of citric acid would be produced from 700.0 kg of sucrose assuming a percent yield of 93.10%
