Although citric acid is a weak binder of iron, coordination is possible if enough of the citrate is available to push the equilibrium towards binding Fe(III). I would probably add 50:1 ratio of citrate:iron in water. So, if you start with 1 mol of iron (III), add 50 moles or more of citrate to assure that all the iron is chelated. In addition, it's preferable to add the citrate in its disodium form, although citric acid by itself should still bind to the iron. If you start with citric acid, you can add 2x moles of NaOH to form the disodium form of citrate. Always add the ligand first (i.e. the citrate) to water then add the iron. Adding the iron first may cause it to precipitate as iron hydroxide (rust) and will probably be unavailable for the citrate.

For example, if a pH 4.9 buffer is desired, the second pKa should be used and the conjugate acid/base pair for this pKa is dihydrogen citrate and hydrogen citrate. Each of these conjugate acid/base concentrations can be multiplied by the overall volume desired to get the desired volume. However, if not all four compounds are readily available (which is quite common), each one can be generated with acid/base chemistry. For example, if only 1.0 M citric acid is available and 100 ml of 0.2 M pH 7.0 buffer is required, 0.2*0.100/1.0 = 0.02 L or 20 ml of citric acid should be used and (0.15985*3+0.04015*2) *0.100/1.0= 0.055985 L or 55.985 ml of 1.0 NaOH should be added to the citric acid to make the required amount of citrate and hydrogen citrate. This makes up for 75.985 ml and the rest 24.015 ml should be topped up with distilled water.
Is sodium citrate an electrolyte?
No it's not caustic. In fact the pH is about 7
Can you make ammonium citrate from citric acid and ammonium hydroxide?
Yes H2C2O4 + 2NH3 --> (NH4)2C2O4

What are some uses of ammonium citrate?
Ammonium Citrate in distilled water is an alternate developer for Platinum and Palladium photographic prints (Iron replacement by Pt and/or Pd). It is cooler in resulting print color than the usual developer - Potassium Oxalate. See www.bostick-sullivan.com
Does irn bru have iron in it?
Yes, albeit a very minuscule amount (less than 0.002%), in the form of ammonium ferric citrate.
Can you use trisodium citrate insteade of sodium citrate 2 hydrate?
yes you can use either trisodium citrate or sodium citrate
What is citrate?
Citrate is the salt, an ester of citric acid, and the polyatomic anion that is found in solution. The ester can be triethyl citrate and the salt can be a trisodium citrate.
How do you make Ammonium ferric citrate?

What elements make up sodium citrate?
Sodium, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What does citric acid sodium carbonate make?
Sodium citrate and carbon dioxide.
What does citrate permease do?
Citrate Permease is an enzyme that is responsible for transporting citrate inside the cell. Some bacteria have this enzyme while others do not. You can test for the presence of citrate permease by performing a Simmon's Citrate biochemical test.
