Is High Vitamin C all it claims to be? These days‚ there is much concern on our consumption of food drink‚ we’re told we do not intake the required daily level of fruit and veg‚ many manufactures claim to provide excellent levels of nutrients‚ This experiment will be carried out to see whether the vitamin c levels claimed by manufacturers are actually present in the drinks‚ this will be done by experimenting various drinks using blue DCPIP solution. The quantity of vitamin C in food and drink

A Comparison of Gravimetric Analysis and Volumetric Analysis To analysis the proportion of an element in a certain substance‚ the experiment could be done by gravimetric analysis and volumetric analysis‚ and these two methods of analysing could be occupied on several different purpose of experiments as well. In a specific experimental condition‚ there will be one method that is the most suitable to choose‚ and it is depending on the temperature‚ substance status‚ pressure and chemical properties

To learn some technique in volumetric analysis: Redox titration. • To review the stoichiometry of an oxidation- reduction reaction. • To determine the concentration of an unknown sodium oxalate (Na2C2O4) solution by titrating it against standardized potassium permanganate solution (KMnO4). • To determine the percent by mass of Fe(II) in the form of ferrous ammonium sulfate Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O in a mixture by redox titration. B. Theory: (electron transfer

Rick & Rosalinda Puetter—Personal vitamin/supplement use and practice‚ 6 February 2000. Vitamins‚ Supplements & Their Uses I. Introduction Our interest in vitamins‚ dietary supplements‚ and nutritional biochemistry began in 1994. I in particular was a severe skeptic about supplements in general‚ and thought everything one’s body needed could be supplied from a “healthy diet”. This‚ of course‚ is true to some degree. Healthy diets allow one to live a long and pleasant life. This does not mean

VITAMINS Introduction Vitamins are organic food substances found only in living things‚ i.e. plants and animals. They are essential for our bodies to function properly‚ for growth‚ energy and for our general well-being. With very few exceptions the human body cannot manufacture or synthesize vitamins. They must be supplied in our diet or in man-made dietary supplements. Some people believe that vitamins can replace food‚ but that is incorrect. In fact‚ vitamins cannot be assimilated without also

Vitamins Vitamins are vital organic nutrients essential to over all health and are needed for cells and fluids in the body. They are found in all the foods that we eat‚ and must be consumed in small quantities since our bodies cannot make them. They are also available in dietary supplements‚ but those are only suggested if necessary‚ like if the body is not getting enough vitamins from food. Even though vitamins do not supply energy as carbohydrates‚ fats and proteins do‚ they are vital because

IUPUI October 12‚ 2012 Titration of Acids and Bases Introduction According to Arrhenius definition‚ acid is substance that produces H3O+ ion while base is substance that produces OH- ions. The reaction between acid and base often yields the products of salt and water. The formation of water in this neutralization reaction is caused by the combination of H3O+ and OH- ions. In order to determine the concentration of an unknown acid and base‚ a method called acid-base titration is used. The end of

oxidizing agent. In this lab‚ a solution of KMnO4‚ an oxidizing agent‚ will be standardized by titration with a solution containing a known concentration of iron (II) ions‚ (Fe+). The concentration of oxalic acid solution will be determined by titration with the MnO4- solution that had been standardized first. The purpose of this lab is to standardize a solution of potassium permanganate by redox titration with a standard solution of iron (II) ions. A solution of oxalic acid is then titrated with the

Vitamin A Retinoic acid‚ or Vitamin A‚ is an essential human nutrient referring to a family of similarly shaped molecules called the retinoids. Its discovery dates back to research done in 1906‚ which indicated that factors other than carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and fats were necessary to keep cattle healthy. Vitamin A was independently discovered by Elmer McCollum at the University of Wisconsin-Madison‚ and Lafayette Mendel and Thomas Osborne at Yale University. It was named due to the fact that
