Lemon 10.5mL 10.6mL 10.4 mL 10.5 mL 10.6 mL 10.52 mL
Carrot 2.9 mL 2.7 mL 5 mL 2.99 mL 2.3 mL 3.178 mL
Orange 1.2 mL 1.1 mL 2.2 mL 1.3 mL 2.00 mL 1.56 mL
Apple (tetra pack) 4.8 mL 5.4 mL 4.9 mL 4.5 mL 5.1 mL 4.94 mL
Pineapple 14.6 mL 14.6 mL 15.2 mL 14.8 mL 16.5 mL 15.14 mL
Table1. Raw data for I2 Titration

The table above represents the raw data for the titration of Iodine in the following
samples which are lemon, carrot, orange, apple in tetra pack and pineapple. The average
results of the following samples are also indicated in the table. The formula used in computing
the average of the results are indicated on the appendices.

Sample ID Volume of I2 (mL) Concentration of Vitamin C, (mg)

Lemon 1.56mL 3.57mg
Carrot 3.178mL 7.27mg
Orange 4.94mL 11.3mg
Apple (tetra pack) 10.52mL 24.1mg
Pineapple 15.14mL 34.6mg
Table2. Determination of vitamin C concentration in mg

Since determining the concentration of vitamin C is the purpose of this experiment, the
table above was constructed to compute for the concentration of vitamin C on each unique
sample. The results for the computed value of the concentration of vitamin C for each sample
are indicated above in the table. The formula used to compute for the concentration of the
vitamin C are found in the appendices.

Sample ID Volume of sample (mL) Concentration of Vitamin C,

mg/100g
Lemon 20 17.9mg
Carrot 20 36.4mg
 Orange 20 56.5mg
Apple (tetra pack) 20 120mg
Pineapple 20 173mg
Table3. Determination of Vitamin C concentration in mg/100g

Upon computing the concentration of vitamin C on each samples, the content in mg per
100g of serving are indicated in the table above. The purpose of the table is to determine on
how much vitamin C is present in a 100g serving the sample used in the experiment. The
formula used on computing the Concentration of Vitamin C per mg of 100g serving is indicated
on the appendices.
