Vitamin c in fruit juice using dcpip titration Preparing the standard ascorbic acid solution 1. Weigh out accurately about 0.2 g ascorbic acid and make up to 1 L with distilled water. 2. Calculate the concentration of the ascorbic acid solution: C = n/V = m/M/V. Sample calculation: mass of ascorbic acid = 0.205 g C (ascorbic acid) = 0.205/176.12/1.00 = 0.00116 M Preparing the DCPIP solution Weigh out accurately approximately 0.24 g DCPIP (Mr = 268.1g/mol) and make up to 1 L with
