Acid Determination of Vitamin C Tablets and Salt Solutions Chem 1290-016 03-05-2010 ------------------------------------------------- Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to use acid-base titrations to find the mass percent of ascorbic acid in a Vitamin C tablet. A known concentration of sodium hydroxide was used and the value found was compared to the stated amount of ascorbic acid listed on the vitamin container. Also in this lab the acidity of different salt solutions were tested using

Title : The Vitamin C content of fruit juice Aim : To investigate the vitamin C content of fruit juice. Introduction : [2]Vitamin C‚ also known as the ascorbic acid or the L-ascorbate‚ is required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of our body. It is necessary to form collagen‚ an important protein used to make skin‚ scar tissue‚ tendons‚ ligaments‚ and blood vessels. Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds as well as for the repair and maintenance of cartilage‚ bones

Activity 1.21- Is high Vitamin C all it claims to be? Purpose: * To investigate the vitamin C content of fruit juice * To investigate which type of fruit juice provides the most vitamin C The quantity of vitamin C in food and drink can be determined using a simple colour test. Vitamin C decolourises the blue dye DCPIP (dichlorophenolindolphenol). Vitamin C is an antioxidant and reduces the DCPIP. DCPIP changes from blue to colourless (or slightly pink) as it becomes reduced. We will

: The Vitamin C Content of Fruit Juices Lecturer : Madam Rita Rohaizah binti Sohari TITLE: THE VITAMIN C CONTENT OF FRUIT JUICES INTRODUCTION Vitamin C which is also known as ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient for human. It is a water-soluble vitamin that is necessary for normal growth and development. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body through the urine. That means a continuous supply of vitamin is needed in daily

DETERMINATION OF VITAMIN C CONTENT IN COMMERCIAL (CENOVIS) TABLET ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ the vitamin C content of a commercial tablet is determined and compared with the manufacturers’ specification. Vitamin C is water-soluble and is an enantiomer of ascorbic acid. (Commercial vitamin C is often a mixture of ascorbic acid and other ascorbates.) Ascorbic acid‚ C6H8O6‚ is a reducing agent that reacts rapidly with iodine (I2). As the iodine is added during the titration‚ the ascorbic acid is

E20-1 Experiment 20 Consumer Chemistry: Vitamin C in Fruit Juices The Task The goal of this experiment is to determine the concentration of vitamin C in a range of different fruit juices (fresh and preserved) using titration and to rank these sources of vitamin C. Skills At the end of the laboratory session you should be able to: * use a pipette correctly‚ * use a pipette filler safely‚ * manipulate a burette and carry out a quantitative titration properly‚ * weigh a sample

differences of percentage of vitamin C (ascorbic acid ) between the fresh orange juice and artificial orange juice (Sunkist). Problem statement : Does have different types of fruit juice contain similar amount of vitamin c ? Objevtive: To analyse the concentration and percentage of different food sample by using titration method and state whether the percentage and concentration of vitamin C. Methodology: Theory : DCPIP can also be used as an indicator for Vitamin C. If vitamin C‚ which is a good reducing

Question: How the amount of vitamin C in fruit juices affects its freshness and till what extent is the information provided on the pack by manufacturers is reliable? Background Information: Hypothesis: -fresh juices have more vitamin C than long-life -juice that is ‘not from concentrate’ is best in terms of vitamin content -if heat destroys vitamin C then heat-treated long-life juices will have lower concentrations -if heat destroys vitamin C then boiled fruit juice will have lower concentrations

Estimating the Vitamin C Concentration in Fruit Juices: A Redox Titration Prelab Assignment – Please turn your answers in on GaView prior to lab 1. How will you prepare a .02% (m/v) NBS solution? Calculations should be in your notebook before arriving to lab. 2. Provide the structure of vitamin C in its reduced form (ascorbic acid)‚ its ionized form (ascorbate ion- this is at equilibrium with reduced form when dissolved)‚ and its oxidized form (dehydroascorbate). 3. Why do you
