    When I started researching science fair project ideas, I came across one that really caught my eye. The driving question, or topic, was “Does the level of vitamin C change over time in Orange Juice.” After I viewed the website, I got very excited because it had simple step-by-step instructions about how to test the level of vitamin C. On the following page are the directions. I think I am really excited to do this project because it sounds very interesting and fun to do. I hope to prove what the driving question/topic entails.…

    Daphnia are extremely small aquatic invertebrates. They are transparent, so you are able to see their internal organs; this means it is easy to monitor their heart rate by observing them through a microscope [1]. Physiological results from caffeine consumption include the stimulation of heart rate, blood pressure, metabolism, body temperature and alertness. [2] In this practical investigation the aim was to determine whether the hypothesis that caffeine increases the heart rate of Daphnia, was true or false or whether caffeine decreased the heart rate of Daphnia. To determine this you need to test this hypothesis practically; in order to do this you have to make up a range of caffeine solutions of different concentrations; this is the independent variable – the thing that you change during the investigation. You also need a control variable, which would be a solution which has no caffeine in at all, to compare the results from the caffeine solutions. In addition to this, you need a dependent variable; this is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment, in the case of this investigation it would be the Daphnia’s heart rate which you would measure, and is affected by the independent variable – the concentration of caffeine solution.…

    In my investigation I plan to find out how much vitamin C there is in orange juice, pineapple juice and tropical juice and then compare my results to find out which juice has the most vitamin C. The independent variable is the type of juice and the dependant variable is the volume of fruit juice needed to decolourise 1cm3 Of 1% DCPIP solution.…

    In order to find the Vitamin C content you will need to use a process called titration which, according to the Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, is when you add a chemicals to a liquid in order to create a reaction which can determine the content of a substance inside the liquid. This is how you will find the Vitamin C content of different juices. Iodine will be added to the juice, which will create a reaction that can help determine the Vitamin C content.…

    The lab consists in determining the vitamin C concentration in a solution by a redox titration using iodine. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble, essential oxidant that plays a vital role in the protection of the body from infections and disease it is acquired from primary fruits and vegetables. With the use of different materials as natural orange juice, Tampico (chemical orange juice) and other solutions that contain vitamin C we will find the amount of vitamin C in each of these concentrations with the help of iodine, and with that data we can compare the difference that exist between the solutions and get to a conclusion of how the amount of vitamin C changes in both types of solutions.…

    Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is necessary for the human body, although only in small quantities, for acting as an essential supplement to a healthy diet as well as being a highly effective antioxidant, acting to lessen stress. People nowadays do not realize that preparing food under high temperature for a long period of time will decompose the Vitamin C contain in the food that is being prepared. This research aims to determine the concentration of Vitamin C after heating at (80oC) through a period of time by titrating the heated solution with DCPIP (2, 6-Dichloro-Indophenol) solution. In this experiment, Tropicana fruit juice beverage was used. 5ml of the fruit juice was measured using measuring cylinder then poured into boiling tube containing 25ml of oxalic acid. Then the solution is titrated with DCPIP solution, until the colour change from light orange to light pink. The volume of DCPIP needed to titrate is recorded. Then, another 5ml of Tropicana fruit juice and 25ml of oxalic acid prepared in a boiling tube was heated at 80oC for 5 minutes in a hot water bath. The solution is then titrated with DCPIP solution from orange to pink color. The volume of DCPIP needed for the titration process was recorded. The experiment is then repeated using time interval 20minutes, 35minutes, 50 minutes, and the volume of DCPIP needed to reach end-point is recorded. The concentration of Vitamin C is 0.48 mg cm- 3 at 0 minute, 0.48 mg cm-3 at 5 minute, 0.45…
