Question

How many grams of citric acid and sodium citrate dihydrate must be added to 1L of water to produce a solution with pH 3.9 and a total solute concentration of 1 mM? (MW Salt = 294.09; MW Acid = 192.13)

I found the answer below, but my calculation does not match it. Can you please show me in detail how the calculation from the image below was done? How did they get the amount of citric acid and citrate? 

Please make sure that you get the same result and the calculation is completely detailed. 

Current molarity:
0.001 M
Adjust the molarity of the solution by using the
slider below
Current pH:
3.9

1. Prepare 800 mL of distilled water in a suitable
container.
2. Add 92.118 mg of Sodium Citrate dihydrate to
the solution.
3. Add 131.9 mg of Citric Acid to the solution.
4. Adjust solution to final desired pH using HCI
