Default Citric Acid question

I agree with Bob. From my experience trying to change the pH of an
aquarium, I've learned that it matters what else is in the water that
might act as a buffer to changing the pH level.

Can anyone tell me how much citric acid is needed to lower the Ph of a

You question is not answerable. *It depends on what is dissolved in the
water. *(if you have distilled water, just the CO2 from the air is
enough to drive the pH down to about 6.)
