Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Although citric acid is a reasonably powerful weak acid, no particular safety measures are needed when using it. There are no restrictions on the sale of citric acid powder for domestic usage. Because the hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups of citric acid only partially dissociate when dissolved in water, it is categorised as a weak acid. Natural sources of citric acid include citrus fruits, particularly lemons and limes.
The correct statement would be, “Citric acid is a weak acid”.
