    DETERMINATION OF VITAMIN C CONTENT IN COMMERCIAL (CENOVIS) TABLET ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ the vitamin C content of a commercial tablet is determined and compared with the manufacturers’ specification. Vitamin C is water-soluble and is an enantiomer of ascorbic acid. (Commercial vitamin C is often a mixture of ascorbic acid and other ascorbates.) Ascorbic acid‚ C6H8O6‚ is a reducing agent that reacts rapidly with iodine (I2). As the iodine is added during the titration‚ the ascorbic acid is

    concentration of Vitamin C in the tablet. Theory: This experiment involves titration of redox reaction. Redox reaction means reduction and oxidation. In which oxidizing agent and reducing agent are mixed and oxidize/reduce each other. One losses electron(s) and increase in oxidation number when is oxidized‚ and vice versa. In order to find out concentration of the ascorbic acid in the tablet‚ a redox reaction of it with iodine was done. While iodine is an oxidizing agent and ascorbic acid is a reducing
