Investigating the vitamin C content of fruits and fruit juice Aim: In this investigation‚ I aim to measure and compare whether there is a higher content of vitamin C in a fruit or a juice by measuring the volume of the sample required to decolourise a solution of dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP). Introduction: For this experiment‚ I aim to investigate and compare the content of vitamin C in the fruit against the fruit juice. The theory of this method is a titration with dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP). DCPIP

CHEMISTRY 221 LABORATORY�QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS EXPERIMENT: DETERMINATION OF ASCORBIC ACID IN VITAMIN C TABLETS THEORY: Ascorbic acid‚ C6H8O6‚ MM = 176.13‚ can be oxidized to form dehydroascorbic acid by bromine via the following reaction: The bromine or iodine used in the titration is generated by adding an excess amount of KBr or KI to an acidified solution of the sample according to the following reaction: BrO3- + 5 Br- + 6 H+ 3 Br2 + 3 H2O IO3- + 5 I- + 6 H+

Investigating Vitamin C Background Vitamin C is found in green vegetables‚ fruits‚ and potatoes. It is essential for a healthy diet. The chemical name for vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is a good reducing agent and therefore it is easily oxidised. Methods for the detection of vitamin C involve titrating it against a solution of an oxidising agent. Where to start There are several oxidising agents that can be used and a commonly used one is 2‚6-dichlorophenol-indophenol or DCPIP. You need

Investigating the vitamin C content of fruit juices Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble nutrient which is found in certain foods. It acts as an antioxidant (inhibits oxidation) in the body‚ helping to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals. The body requires vitamin C in order to make collagen‚ a protein essential to help wounds heal. Vitamin C also improves the absorption of iron from plant-based foods and helps the immune system work properly to protect the body from disease

THE VITAMIN C CONTENT OF FRUIT JUICE Aim: To investigate the vitamin C content of fruit juice.Hypothesis: I believe the more drops of fruit juice taken to decolourise DCPIP‚ the smaller the amount of vitamin C in that fruit juice. This is because DCPIP needed to be decolourised by ascorbic acid in fruit juice‚ so less concentration of ascorbic acids means that more ascorbic acids is needed to decolourised DCPIP. I believe that freshly squeezed orange is going to have the most Vitamin C content because

Investigating the Effect of Caffeine on the Heart Rate of Daphnia Daphnia are extremely small aquatic invertebrates. They are transparent‚ so you are able to see their internal organs; this means it is easy to monitor their heart rate by observing them through a microscope [1]. Physiological results from caffeine consumption include the stimulation of heart rate‚ blood pressure‚ metabolism‚ body temperature and alertness. [2] In this practical investigation the aim was to determine whether the hypothesis

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

Measuring the Vitamin C content in a variety of fruit juices Background Information Vitamin C‚ also called ascorbic acid‚ is a water soluble vitamin. It is a powerful reducing agent that is able to decolourise blue DCPIP (2.6-dichlorophenol indophenols). The decolourisation of DCPIP can therefore be used to calculate the vitamin C content of a variety of fruit juices. Research Question – To determine how the content of Vitamin C (%) will differ in fresh fruits (orange‚ mango‚ lemon‚ lime‚ blackcurrant

Determination of Vitamin C by an Iodometric Titration Purpose: The goal of this lab is to determine the concentration of vitamin C in juices and Real Lemon. A redox titration‚ involving an iodometric method‚ will be used to do the analysis. The samples will be classified by their Vitamin C content. Introduction: Although most mammals can synthesize vitamin C‚ or ascorbic acid (C6H8O6)‚ from sugars‚ man must ingest considerable quantities of this substance.
