INTRODUCTION In our experiment we tested the amount of vitamin C in a certain amount of lemon juice. We did this with the help of PCPIP which is an indicator that shows the presence if C vitamin. For this we used the mentioned indicator‚ pipette‚ three eprouvetes‚ 0.1% of C vitamin solution and lemon juice. First we had to get the volume of 0.1% vitamin C solution that is needed for our amount of PCPIP (2ml) to decolorize. Then we had to determine the volume of lemon juice that is needed to

Vitamin C also known as ascorbic acid is vital to our body. It can strengthen our body to resist against infection. It is known that deficiency of vitamin C can cause scurvy. Vitamin C is present in various fruits. Since vitamin C is a reducing agent‚ it can be deactivated by a wide range of oxidizing agents including atmospheric oxygen. Therefore‚ precautions are needed to prevent or minimize the degradation of vitamin C during sample preparation. The ascorbic acid exists in two forms which

Some cases Vitamin C has been proven harmful. The only reason we believe that Vitamin C is good for us in large doses is because of a man named Linus Pauling. Linus Pauling was an American chemist‚ biochemist‚ peace activist‚ author‚ and educator. He was the only person to receive two noble prizes by

Effect of Heat on Vitamin C Objective: - To determine whether the concentration of Vitamin C in a fruit juice changes upon heating at a constant temperature for different periods of time. - To investigate how the trend goes (whether the concentration of Vitamin C increases or decreases) if the amount of Vitamin C does change. Theory: - Hypothesis: The concentration of Vitamin C in the fruit juice changes and decreases upon heatingat a constant temperature for increasing periods of time

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

: 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

Volumetric Analysis of Vitamin C by Titration The objective of this experiment is to use a redox reaction titration to accurately determine the amount of vitamin C in a sample of lemon juice‚ orange juice‚ or grapefruit juice. Chemistry of Vitamin C The chemical name for vitamin C is L-ascorbic acid. Its molecular formula is C6H8O6; its molar mass is 176.12 g/mole. Ascorbic acid is found throughout the plant and animal kingdoms‚ occurring in citrus fruits‚ hip berries (such as rose
