    1) This document provides guidance for a practical experiment to determine the vitamin C concentration in a solution. It outlines safety precautions to take when handling certain chemicals used in the experiment. 2) The calculation for determining the vitamin C concentration can be complex, so the document provides a series of guiding questions to help weaker students step through the calculation. 3) The questions guide students to calculate the moles of chemicals reacted at each step of the experiment to ultimately determine the moles and concentration of vitamin C in a 25.0 cm3 sample solution.

    Guidance for Practical 5 – Chapter 1

    Determination of vitamin C concentration in a solution

    Safety
    • Ethanedioic acid is harmful in contact with the skin and if swallowed.
    • Potassium iodate is harmful.
    • Sulfuric acid is not hazardous at the concentration used.
    • Wear eye protection.
    Calculation
    The calculation here can be quite tricky. If the practical is not to be used for assessment, then weaker
    students could be given extra help by the use of the following guiding questions.
    1 Calculate the number of moles of thiosulfate used.

    2 Work out the number of moles of iodine that the thiosulfate has reacted with.

    3 Use the volume and concentration of potassium iodate added to calculate the number of moles
    of molecular iodine produced.

    4 Calculate the number of moles of iodine that reacted with the vitamin C.

    5 Calculate the number of moles of vitamin C in 25.0 cm3 of the solution and hence the
    concentration of the vitamin C solution.
