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

The Effect of Vitamin C on Plant Growth Aim: To determine the effect of salt/ sugar/ caffeine/ vitamin C on seed germination. Hypothesis: The plant will grow slowly or die due to the Vitamin C. Equipment: * 2 cups * 2 measuring cups * Water * Vitamin C/ orange Juice * Soil * 4 seed (2 for each cup) * A ruler Method: 1. Pour ¾ of soil into each cup 2. Plant 2 seeds into each cup. Put it about half way down the soil 3. Mix 1mL of orange juice with 5mL

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

Laboratory exercise 3 : Quantitative analysis of vitamin C contained in a fruit juice Aim: To investigate the amount of vitamin C found in all kinds of fruit juice Introduction : Vitamin C is an antioxidant‚ along with vitamin E‚ beta-carotene‚ and many other plant-based nutrients. Antioxidants block some of the damage caused by free radicals‚ substances that damage DNA. The build-up of free radicals over time may contribute to the aging process and the development of health conditions such as

: 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

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

Temperature on Content of Vitamin C Introduction A daily intake of Vitamin C is essential for humans. Without it‚ the disease scurvy develops as sailors‚ explorers and people during the long winters in the Northern hemisphere found before the time of Captain Cook. The British Navy started giving sailors lime juice to prevent scurvy on long voyages in 1795. Vitamin C is found in high levels in foods such as oranges‚ limes‚ lemons‚ blackcurrants‚ parsley and capsicums. Vitamin C is water soluble and is

Vitamin C Content of Apple Juice Introduction Complete lack of ascorbic acid (a.k.a Vitamin C) in the diets of humans and other primates leads to a classic nutritional disease‚ scurvy. This disease was widespread in Europe during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries‚ but it is rare today. Ascorbic acid is widely distributed in nature‚ but it occurs in extremely high concentrations in citrus and green plants such as green peppers and spinach. Ascorbic acid can be synthesized

Aim This experiment is to determine the vitamin C content in different brands of processed fruit juices. Hence‚ compare the vitamin C content in the experimental results with the manufacturer’s claim and to find out the best buy. Principle Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a reducing agent‚ the vitamin C content of processed fruit juices can be determined by oxidizing ascorbic acid‚ C6H8O6 to dehydro-L-ascorbic acid‚ C6H6O6. A reagent that is particularly good for the oxidation is an aqueous solution
