what happen if citric acid react with metal
Answers
Rust removal is one use of citric acid. Since citric acid is a weaker organic acid, it does not corrode iron rapidly. ... Dipping a piece of rusty iron into the citric acid solution starts the reaction. The citric acid chelates the iron oxide, leaving a clean piece of iron and a solid chelate that can be removed easily.

Explanation:
Citric acid reacts very quickly with iron, but does not in itself rust the iron. The water in the lemon juice will help to rust the iron, however, in the presence of air. A steel nail dropped into a citric acid solution will dissolve in a matter of hours.
