22 October 2015 Objective The purpose of this lab was to perform an iodometric titration of ascorbic acid. This was done by creating a known excess of I3-, reacting it with ascorbic acid then back titrating it with thiosulfate.
Background/Theory
Ascorbic acid, also known as Vitamin C, has the molecular formula C6H8O6.
It occurs naturally in citrus and a lot of vegetables. It is considered to be essential to a healthy diet. It helps keep muscles, bones, skin, and more, healthy.
Iodometric titrations are extremely important to redox titrations. This is due to the fact that iodine can react quickly, directly, and significantly with many substances, both

Then 2.0-g solid KI was added and allowed to completely dissolve. Then 50.00-mL of KIO3 was added to the flask. This brown solution was titrated with thiosulfate until the solution was a pale yellow. At this point, 2.0-mL of the starch indicator was added, creating a dark blue solution, and titrating was continued until the solution was colorless. This process was repeated for an additional two trials. To analyze the ascorbic acid, 1 Vitamin C tablet was crushed in a mortar and pestle and dissolved in 60.0-mL 0.3 M H2SO4. Once fully dissolved, 2.0-g solid KI and 50.00-mL KIO3 were added to create a brown solution. This was titrated with the standardized thiosulfate until pale brown then 2-mL of starch indicator were added to create a dark blue solution. The titration was continued until the solution was colorless. This process was repeated for two more trials. For the second trial, 51.98-mL of KIO3 was needed to turn the solution brown instead of 50-mL.
Results
For the standardization of the thiosulfate solution, the average molarity was found to be 0.68M with a standard deviation of
Lastly, the unknown compound was reacted with two different salts. For the first salt, 0.50 grams of KCl was mixed with 5 mL of water in one beaker while 0.5 grams of NaNO3 was mixed with 5 mL of water in a different beaker. Then, the NaNO3 solution was added to the KCl solution. To perform the reaction with the second salt, 0.50 grams of KCl was mixed with 5 mL of water and 1 mL of 1 M Ag(NO3)2 was added. After performing each reaction, the solution was observed to see if a reaction occurred and the pH value of the resulting solution was tested using a pH
Purpose: The main goal of this lab experiment is to synthesize acetylsalicylic acid through using different processes such as crystallization and filtration. Additionally, determining the purity of the synthesize product alongside with a commercial ASA provided in the lab, through using one of the melting point apparatus or conducting a USP test are also the objectives of this experiment. Results Discussion: As discussed in the lab manual, there are certain instructions which apply to proper measurement to provide accurate values throughout the experiments. For example, the transferring of 10 ml of ASA solution to a vial tube by volumetric pipette was necessary to acquire consistent results for our salicylic acid content.
As a safety precaution, the measured 4.0 mL of DMC was added to the flask under the hood. A stir flea was then added and was used to dissolve the TBAB. After dissolving the TBAB, approximately 0.52 g of potassium carbonate was added to the flask (note: potassium carbonate is hygroscopic and could readily take in moisture).
Introduction: The unknown acid molarity will be determining by titration method. Titration is a process depends on concentration of known solution to another solution until the solute in the another solution completely react. Standard solution is the solution of known concentration that used in titration. In this experiment, NaOH was the titrant (base) however, the two analyte which used were HCl and H2SO4.

Starch solution is then placed into the test tube at a quantity of 5 mL. 5 drops of Lugol’s Iodine solution is added to the test tube. If the color changes, then it is known that starches are present in the solution. Proteins are next tested. In order to do this, 5 mL of gelatin solution is added to the test tube. 10 drops of Biuret’s reagent are added to test for protein.
It additionally has protein, starch, fiber and mineral and furthermore contains gallic corrosive which is a powerful polyphenol. Vitamin C is vital for people. It is important for the combination of the between cell solidifying substance which is in charge of keeping the cells of the body together. The amla organic product is accounted for to contain about 20 fold the amount of vitamin C as squeezed orange. The consumable amla
+ -.0005g of KNO3 dissolved in 20 + -0.5 mL. A 10 mL graduated cylinder was used to accurately measure. The pH of potassium nitrate was recorded and the probe was removed and
The iodine test determines the presence of starch in biological materials. It is predicted that, if starch is not present, the solution with iodine remains yellow. However, if starch is present the solution with iodine becomes a blue-black colour. Plants have starch as the storage polysaccharide (glucose units held together by glycosidic bonds) while animals have the equivalent of glycogen. In this experiment, the dark blue colour is visible because of the helical amylose and amylopectin reacting with iodine (Travers et al., 2002).
Each solution was put in separate labeled test tubes. Original observations were recorded. 6M NaOH was added until a precipitate was formed (20 drops were not exceeded). Observations were then recorded into the lab manual. To the solutions that created a precipitate and addition of ten drops of NaOH was added.
Tasha Magloire Instrumental Chemistry Real World Project: HPLC and Raman Analysis of Ascorbic Acid in Fruit Juices Introduction: Ascorbic acid (also known as Vitamin C) is a water soluble vitamin that is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in the body. Vitamin C protects against scurvy, heart disease, cancer, the common cold, and high blood pressure. Vitamin C can also be used as an antioxidant and dietary supplement. It’s naturally present in some fruits and vegetables and In some commercial juices.
Next, we obtained an Erlenmeyer flask for the titration. Rinse it with DI water. Next we are to dispense from the buret at least mL of the designated acid into the flask. Record the initial and final volume readings on the buret in laboratory notebook data table. Next we add 20mL of deionized water and anthocyanin indicator drop
Antioxidants give protection against harmful free radicals and reduce rate of cancer and heart disease. The most efficient carotenoid antioxidant is lycopene. Lycopene is a natural pigment which protects the body by neutralizing the negative effects of oxidants. In the synthesis of vitamin A lycopene plays an important role as an intermediate and carotenoid like β-carotene and β cryptoxenthin, influences its development. Lycopene is soluble in fat and synthesized by plants and microorganisms.
Practical I: Acid-base equilibrium & pH of solutions Aims/Objectives: 1. To determine the pH range where the indicator changes colour. 2. To identify the suitable indicators for different titrations. 3.
Introduction The goal of the experiment is to examine how the rate of reaction between Hydrochloric acid and Sodium thiosulphate is affected by altering the concentrations. The concentration of Sodium thiosulfate will be altered by adding deionised water and decreasing the amount of Sodium thiosulphate. Once the Sodium thiosulphate has been tested several times. The effect of concentration on the rate of reaction can be examined in this experiment.
