Challenge Problem: Verdini and Lagier8 developed an iodimetric titration procedure for determining ascorbic acid in vegetables and fruits. They compared the results of their titration experiments with similar results from an HPLC method (see Chapter 33). The results ofheir comparison are shown in the following table.
