In the presence of small amounts of iodine and triiodide the reaction between itself and starch is
freely reversible. Scurvy leads to the formation of spots on the skin, bleeding from the mucous
membranes such as nosebleeds, painful joints and bleeding gums due to poor collagen formation in
the body. Closed shoes should be worn in the lab to provide adequate protection in case of any
mishaps. As all of the amounts measured in this experiment are similar (67.0%, 64.8% and 65.0%). It
seems to suggest that the error is a result of the experimental procedure for measuring the quantity of
vitamin c and not in the manner that it has been carried out. In the dry state, it is reasonably stable in

titration is used instead of direct titration with I 2 because I 2 can be easily vapourize thus the
molarity of I 2 solution is difficult to control, thus using 'standard' I 2 solution for titration is
impossible. After that, carry out the procedure above to determine the vitamin C (Ascorbic
acid)content through titration.Finally, compare the result with the value obtained in the experiment
this time(which serves as control). In addition, if DCPIP solution is stored for any length of time it
should be kept in a dark-coloured container, which was not the case. From the graph, we can deduce
that the volume needed to decolourise 0.5ml of 1% DCPIP solution is inversely proportional to the
concentration of vitamin C. Once both solutions were freshly made the difference was obvious; the
fresh DCPIP solution was blue rather than purple and the test worked much better. Iodine is very
weakly soluble in the water, and can be easily lost from the solution due to its volatility. In the
presence of small amounts of iodine and triiodide the reaction between itself and starch is freely
reversible. Measuring Vitamin C content in different substances. Also colour blind people might not
be able to tell the difference between the blue at the start and the pink at the end. The juices
containing the most Vitamin C titrated the. The fresh juices have a greater range; one brand (Asda
Smooth) has less vitamin C than any of the concentrates but squeezed orange has more. Orange juice
contains the highest amount of vitamin C when compared with lime juice and star fruit juice.
Moreover, the indicator is not affected by the presence of (I - ). Vitamin C is important in the
formation of connective tissues in the body such as bones, teeth, skin and lining of blood vessels.
The risks evaluated by the student and the improvements suggested are quite average, and the
student could have identified other risks associated with the experiment and better improvements.
Use the pipette to put 1 ml DCPIP solution in each test tube. The equivalence point and colour
changes of indicators are not instant and it is difficult to access when the reaction has finished.
Without knowing how the juices were produced, it is not possible to draw any meaningful
conclusions. All solutions were prepared either by squeezing the juice out of fruits and vegetables or
by filtering the juice from the carton. Vitamin C helps to prevent deficiency diseases, in particular
scurvy, and is abundant in citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges. After that, carry out the
procedure above to determine the vitamin C (Ascorbic acid)content through titration.Finally, compare
the result with the value obtained in the experiment this time(which serves as control). Therefore the
iodine must be diluted first with the titrant,sodium to ensure no highly stable complex is formed. It
occurs as a white or slightly yellow crystal or powder wit h a slight acidic taste.
As the concentration of vitamin C increases, the volume required decreases. Use the pipette to put 1
ml DCPIP solution in each test tube. As soon as the DCPIP becomes decolourised, note the number
of drops added. The build up of these by-products over time is largely responsible for the aging
process and can contribute to the development of various health conditions such as cancer, heart
disease, and a host of inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Ascorbic acid is also important
biologically as it is used as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions (no less than 8 reactions have been
identified). In the dry state, it is reasonably stable in air, but in solution it rapidly oxidizes. This
practical would suit students who are studying REDOX chemistry in AS-A2 Cambridge or A-level
courses. These studies show that human body could use only a limited amount of vitamin C, the rest

able to produce their own vitamin C equivalent to that produced by other species, it would be several
thousand milligrams per day. Antioxidants are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by
free radicals, which are by-products that result when our bodies transform food into energy. It is
thought that ascorbic acid reacts with these free radicals preventing them from causing damage to
cells. He also argue that this can lesson the likelihood of having colon cancer. It actually took around
5 ml vit C solution before any visible reaction took place at all, and upwards of 30 ml for the DCPIP
to lose its colour completely. If starch is placed in the solution the iodine and triiodide molecules will
react with starch to form a blue-black complex. This is due to the fact that least volume of orange
juice is needed to decolourise and reduce the blue DCPIP solution. This resource hasn't been

or sometimes pink, compound solution. In the presence of small amounts of iodine and triiodide the
reaction between itself and starch is freely reversible. Furthermore, data from manufacturers together

so useful, now it is still too soon to say that whether Pauling is right or not. The response is written in
a very clear and concise way. It is difficult to identify how old fruit is due to the manner in which it
is transported from its country of origin. Our range of laboratory equipment includes Lab

produce the pure final products from sorbitol in a series of biotechnical, chemical processing and
purification steps. Therefore the iodine must be diluted first with the titrant,sodium to ensure no
highly stable complex is formed.
However, as with the commercial orange juice, some commercial fruit juices may have more vitamin
C than fresh fruit juice because they may have been fortified, that is to manufacture a product with a
higher vitamin and mineral content than before it is refined. Steem POD Team WORLD OF XPILAR

beaker. C will complete the reaction sooner than juices with less Vitamin C. I believed. After that,
carry out the procedure above to determine the vitamin C (Ascorbic acid)content through
titration.Finally, compare the result with the value obtained in the experiment this time(which serves
as control). Perhaps experiments could be done with different light or temperature conditions. Thus,
we need a constant supply of vitamin C in our diet. With this in mind I would suggest that this
experiment is in adequate to measure vitamin c and other methods should be employed. Thus, the
fruit juices should only be prepared right before beginning the experiment to ensure the freshness of
the fruit juices and that the vitamin C content of the fruit juices are highest during the experiment.
Hence, compare this data with the manufacturer's specification. More juices could be tested - 10
concentrates and 10 fresh juices perhaps - and the test could be carried out more than 3 times; the
larger the experiment, the more likely a valid conclusion can be reached. The response is written in a
very clear and concise way. However despite this the quantity of vitamin c in each of the samples
was significantly below published data. Use the syringe to drop 0.1ml juice into test tube 1, then
gently shake the test tube. By using a knife to cut, the amount of vitamin C dissolved in the distilled
water is inaccurate and frequently less than the theoretical amount as parts of the vitamin C tablet is
crushed into powder when force is applied on the tablet. Write a review Update existing review

in the formation of connective tissues in the body such as bones, teeth, skin and lining of blood
vessels. Another method would be to dissolve a whole tablet in 100ml distilled water in a beaker
before diluting the solution accordingly by using a measuring cylinder to measure out the exact
amount of water required. However despite this the quantity of vitamin c in each of the samples was
significantly below published data. Reviews Select overall rating (no rating) Your rating is required

on vitamin C tablets, this causes indigestion, diarrhea, sickness and insomnia. These include the
synthesis of collagen, a deficiency of which leads to the most notable disease of vitamin c loss,
scurvy. It is reduced by an equal amount of vitamin C to a colourless, or sometimes pink, compound
solution. It implies that the number of mole of vitamin c reacted with I 2 decreases. Solution can also
be left behind in flasks as it is transferred from one to the other. Solution can also be left behind in
flasks as it is transferred from one to the other. Closed shoes should be worn in the lab to provide
adequate protection in case of any mishaps. Therefore trying to measure the amount of vitamin c in
two different fruits can not be accurate as you do not know the age; as a result an adequate
comparison cannot be made. Even before its discovery in 1932, physicians recognized that there
must be a compound in citrus fruits preventing scurv y, a disease that killed as many as two million
sailors between 1500 and 1800. No changes were made to the content of the solution. During the
experiment, when vitamin C or fruit juice is added drop by drop into the test tube containing DCPIP
solution, the test tube should not be shaken too vigorously as this may introduce oxygen into the
solution causing the oxygen to oxidise the DCPIP and partially restore the dark colour of the DCPIP
solution resulting in an inaccurate observation of the volume of vitamin C or fruit juice required to
decolourise the DCPIP solution. Gently shake the test tube and note your observations. By first
testing a known concentration of vitamin C solution it should be possible to calculate the vitamin C
content in each fruit juice. Determination of the Amount of Vitamin C in a Commercial Tablets.

transportation) then had water re-added (reconstituted) before packaging. However, when all
available iodine has been reacted, the blue-black complex becomes colourless which signals the end-
point. These items can be treated in various ways such as steamed, boiled, or soaked in water if you
wish. Another consideration would be the addition of ascorbic acid by the manufacturer. This

S 2 O 3 2- depends on the actual number of mole of I 2., the number of mole of S 2 O 3 2-
calculated will be lower than the actual one. However, it should be added only at the time when the
solution becomes very pale yellow (nearly colourless) because the complex form between starch and I
2 at a high concentration is irreversible. Another consideration would be the addition of ascorbic acid
by the manufacturer. Collagen fibre plays an important role in teeth, cartilage, skin, blood vessels,
etc. The amount of Vitamin c in the samples that I have measured was 67.0%, 64.8% and 65.0%
respectively of the published data for the quantity of vitamin c, (as shown below). These include the
syntheses of collagen, neurotransmitters, tyrosine carnitine and metabolism of microsome 2. These
results match with that of published data for the expected amount of vitamin c in fruits.
