@@cee_veshere ya go (if im wrong sorry) 22 million metric tons of lemons are produced a year, with 100g per lemon, and one metric ton is 1000000 grams. This results in about 220,000,000,000 (220 billion). an estimated 8,765,333,333,333,333 lemons (8.77 quadrillion lemons), with 220,000,000,000 lemons produced per year. This would take approximately 39,842.42 years. For context, Homo Neanderthalensis went extinct approximately 40,000 years ago.

Missed opportunity. Given the timescale involved, it would be simpler to selectively breed lemons for size. With sufficient effort, it should be possible to create a single lemon large enough to do the job on its own. The Eiffel Tower is lemon-squeezer-shaped already, making the process even easier.

I decided to bust out the high school chem, and with a bit of research found that the Eiffel tower had a metal (iron) mass of 7,300,000,000 grams. Which when divided by its molecular mass (55.84) gave a total number of moles to be 1.31x10^8, this react in a 1 to 1 ratio with iron oxide (fe2O3) to form your iron citrate complex. One lemon has 0.025 mole of citric acid, so the absolute minimum number of lemons you would need would be 5.233x10^10, or just 2.355x10^8 litres of juice

Imma try calculate it myself before the video starts pH of lemon juice is like ~3. 10^-3 moles of H+ ions in a liter of lemon juice. The Eiffel tower consists of 7300 tonnes of iron. Iron has density of 7870 g/L, meaning same amount of volume contains 107 moles of iron. The reaction stoichiometry is 1:1, since oxidized iron is going to be trivalent and citric acid has 3 acidic hydroxyl moieties. Assuming 40 mls of juice as median for each lemon, we need 25 lemons squeezed out completely and distilled under vacuum for about a liter of juice. 107*10^3 L of juice is needed for 1 L of iron, and time that by 25 we get 214 thousand lemons. 7300 000 kg / 7,87 kg = 927573. Times 214 thousand. 198,5 million lemons ± whatever

Chemically using the surface area to determine the amount of lemon acid is wrong, you need to determine the chemical equation and calculate based on that how much citric acid you need. Also you need to consider the mass of the entire Eiffel Tower, once the acid reacts with the surface it won’t keep reacting if you only take the amount needed to cover the surface.

A spiral or “helix” escalator might actually be more ergonomic. It would allow you to spend more time acidifying the tower rather than the long and empty vertical trip there and back that a standard escalator would provide. You could squeeze on the way up and the way down, simultaneously, allowing for maximum acidification. It would also look cool as hell.
