The volume of 100 mL is equivalent to 0.1 Liters. And 1 molar (1 mole per liter) times 0.1 liters equals 0.1 moles. The molecular weight for Citric Acid Monohydrate is 210.14 grams per mole. And 0.1 moles times 210.14 grams per mole equals 21.0 grams. So to prepare the solution, dissolve 21.0 grams of citric acid monohydrate in about 75 mL of pure water, then bring the final volume to 100 mL. Citric Acid Monohydrate is very soluble in water.
As far as which product to buy, many grades of citric acid and citric acid monohydrate are listed. Please contact your local Technical Service group and describe your intended application so that they can help you choose the appropriate grade.

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?
1 answer-
If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
