IMMNAUEL LUTHERAN COLLEGE S6 Chemistry Name: Hramar ( 7 ) Experiment 7 : Analysis of commercial vitamin C tablet Title: Determination of the vitamin C content (ascorbic acid) of a commercial vitamin C tablet and compare the result with the value specified by the manufacturer. Theory : In this experiment, we have to determine the vitamin C content of a commercial vitamin C tablet which is the mass of ascorbic acid in the tablet. As iodine is a weak oxidizing agent …showed first 75 words of 2749 total…

Although the iodine has low solubility, it can still be prepared by dissolving iodine in a small volume of concentrated solution of potassium iodide. To ensure complete solution, care should be taken to avoid dilution of the concentrated solution until the last piece of solid iodine has disappeared. This can be done by filtering the solution through a sintered glass crucible before standardization.
