DI
id. (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) in acidic medium to produce iodide ion (I-) and dehydroascorbic acid, as shown in the following equation: [IMAGE]

+ I2(aq) -----------> + 2H+(aq) + 2I-(aq)

Ascorbic acid (Vit. C) Dehydroascorbic acid

However, since iodine is only slightly soluble in water, ascorgic acid should not be titrated directly by a standard iodine solution, since the end point of titration is not o obvious. Instead, back titration will be employed.

The titration of a reducing agent with iodine to produce iodide ion is referred to as an iodometric titration. Iodine is generate by adding a weighed amount of standard potassium iodate (KIO3) to an excess of potassium iodide (KI) and then add adding strong dilute sulphuric acid
(H2SO4) to produce iodine as shown below:

(1) KIO3(aq) + 5KI(aq) + 3H2SO4(aq) → 3I2(aq) + 3H2O(l) + 3K2SO4(aq)

The known excess of I2 generated by the reaction is immediately reacted with the ascorbic acid sample; finally, the excess unreacted iodine is “back-titrated” with standardized sodium thiosulphate(Na2S2O3) as shown in the following equation:

(2) 2 Na2S2O3(aq) + I2(aq) → Na2S4O6(aq) + 2NaI(aq)

The amount of ascorbic acid is determined by the stoichiometry of the equations and the difference between the total amount of iodine present and the
