>I think it’s important to discern that sodium citrate is part of the base of citric acid.

There are no sodium atoms in citric acid, and losing protons to form a conjugate base won't create them. The citric acid will have to react with sodium already present if you don't add some, which may not be in sufficient quantity to neutralize the acid. Sodium citrate is only one of many citric acid salts, and even that has three varieties, so I hardly think you can say it's "part of the base of citric acid", no?

I won’t respond to this pile-on of criticism as you wrote this in an attempt at humiliation. I did however respond to the similar duplicate comment from another user below. Hope that helps. Know that it was just a typo.

I'm sorry you got that impression as it wasn't my intent.
