Acid Determination of Vitamin C Tablets and Salt Solutions Chem 1290-016 03-05-2010 ------------------------------------------------- Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to use acid-base titrations to find the mass percent of ascorbic acid in a Vitamin C tablet. A known concentration of sodium hydroxide was used and the value found was compared to the stated amount of ascorbic acid listed on the vitamin container. Also in this lab the acidity of different salt solutions were tested using

DETERMINATION OF FRUIT ACIDS BY TITRATION AND CALCULATION OF THE SUGAR/ACID RATIO It is the sugar/acid ratio which contributes towards giving many fruits their characteristic flavour and so is an indicator of commercial and organoleptic ripeness. At the beginning of the ripening process the sugar/acid ratio is low‚ because of low sugar content and high fruit acid content‚ this makes the fruit taste sour. During the ripening process the fruit acids are degraded‚ the sugar content increases and

DATE PERFORMED: JANUARY 6‚ 2011 SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF THE EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT OF A REACTION ABSTRACT The objective of the experiment was to determine the equilibrium constant of the reaction forming ferric thiocyanate through the use of Spectrophotometry. For the calibration‚ five standard solutions were prepared‚ then their respective absorbance values that were obtained through the use of the spectrophotometer‚ were plotted versus the concentration of the analyte so that a calibration

2-11-15 Determination of Ka of Weak Acids Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the strength of weak acids by determining the equilibrium constants for their ionization reactions in water. Is to use their measured pH values to calculate the pKa for the two unknown weak acids thus determining their identities. Hypothesis: If we neutralize a solution that contains a weak acid by adding a strong base to the solution‚ then the ions will be isolated and thus finding the concentrations of each

EXPERIMENT 8 QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION IODOMETRIC TITRATION OF COPPER CONCENTRATION IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION B Y RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Considered as moderately weak oxidizing agent‚ Iodine was used for the determination of strong reductants. Standard iodine solutions were found to have smaller electrode potentials as compared with the other oxidants‚ gaining them the advantage of imparting a degree of selectivity essential in the determination of strong reducing agents amid the presence

tampered samples against. Introduction Vinegar is a solution made from the fermentation of ethanol (CH3CH2OH)‚ which in turn was previously fermented from sugar. The fermentation of ethanol results in the production of acetic acid (CH3COOH). The typical pH of vinegar ranges anywhere from 2 to 3.5‚ although shop-bought vinegar usually measures 2.4 www.wisegeek.com/what-is-vinegar.htm fig 1 In this study we will determine the amount of acid in a vinegar sample by using titration‚ a common technique

determine the concentration of acetic acid in white vinegar. 2.0 Theory The concentration is a measurement of relative amounts of solute and solvent. There are many diverse ways of expressing concentration but the most accepted and widely used is molar concentration and regularly referred to as molarity which is defined in mole‚ the amount of solute dissolved in one litre of solution. [pic] In this experiment there are solutions used with accurately known concentrations called standard
