Question

Titrimetry

For the determination of the levels of Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C: C6H8O6), in Mazoe orange crush, ascorbic is oxidized using a known amount of I3 to dehydroascorbic acid, C6H6O6, and back titrating the excess I3 with Na2S2O3. A 4.00-mL sample of filtered Mazoe orange crush was treated with 40.00 mL of 0.00823 M I3. After the oxidation was complete, 11.40 mL of 0.06981 M Na2S2O3 was needed to reach the endpoint.


C6H8O6 (aq)+ I3 (aq)→ I(aq)+ C6H6O6 (aq)+ H+(aq)

I3(aq)+ S2O32−(aq)→S4O62−(aq)+ I(aq)


i)             What is the concentration of ascorbic acid in Mazoe Orange crush in mg/100 mL.

    Government and industry analysts routinely measure the quantity of ascorbic acid (vitamin C, C6H8O6) in commercial products such as fruit juices and vitamin tablets. The ascorbic acid reacts with excess iodine, and the amount of I2 remaining is determined with sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3). It is suspected by the Montreal Fraud Division that a prominent natural foods importer is defrauding his customers by claiming that his vitamin C tablets contain 45% of the active ingredient ascorbic acid. In one analysis, a...

    6. The ozone content in polluted air can be determined by an iodometric titration. The air sample is bubbled through a buffered KI solution at a rate of 2.8 L/min for 1.5 hr. The density of the air sample is 1.17 g/L. The ozone is reduced by the iodide in the solution according to the following reaction. O3 g+3 I- aq+2 H+ aq → O2 g+ I3- aq+H2O l The resulting I3– is titrated with 0.00265 M Na2S2O3 requiring 9.84...

    Ascorbic acid or Vitamin C is a simple compound with the following chemical formula C6H8O6. Besides being an acid, it is also a reducing agent. One method for determining the amount of vitamin C in a sample is to titrate it with a solution of bromine, Br2, a good oxidizing agent based on the following chemical equation: Br2 (aq) + C6H8O6 (aq) -->  2HBr (aq) + C6H6O6 (aq) Suppose a 1.00-g “chewable” vitamin C tablet requires 27.85 mL of 0.102 M...

    In Lab 9, students performed acid-base titrations. Redox reactions can also be used in titrations. An example is the titration of ascorbic acid (H2C6H6O6) in lemon juice using triiodide (I3− ). A starch indicator will turn the solution blue-black at the endpoint. The half-reactions involved are shown below. C6H6O6 + 2 H+ + 2 e− → H2C6H6O6     +0.06 V I3− + 2 e− → 3 I−     +0.53 V (a) What is the net redox reaction that occurs? (Use the lowest...

    Iodine (I2) is often used by backpackers and travelers for the treatment of drinking water. However, many people find the taste of iodine offensive. As a result, vitamin C, a.k.a. ascorbic acid (C6H8O6), tablets are sold as a “neutralizer,” that can be added after water treatment to remove the iodine taste and color. The products of the reaction are iodide ions and dehydroascorbic acid (C6H6O6). Zinc metal could be used instead of Vitamin C to remove the iodine. This fact...
