The Effect of Vitamin C on Plant Growth Aim: To determine the effect of salt/ sugar/ caffeine/ vitamin C on seed germination. Hypothesis: The plant will grow slowly or die due to the Vitamin C. Equipment: * 2 cups * 2 measuring cups * Water * Vitamin C/ orange Juice * Soil * 4 seed (2 for each cup) * A ruler Method: 1. Pour ¾ of soil into each cup 2. Plant 2 seeds into each cup. Put it about half way down the soil 3. Mix 1mL of orange juice with 5mL

Floyd Askew 3/19/13 CHEM 1211L Lab Report Introduction The purpose of this lab is to use volumetric analysis to determine the concentration of unknown substances. A sodium hydroxide solution is standardized to assist in finding the concentration of an acetic acid. An indicator must be used to pin point the equivalence point‚ the point in which 1 mole of a substance is equal to 1 mole of another. When that is found‚ we can determine the concentration.

Laboratory exercise 3 : Quantitative analysis of vitamin C contained in a fruit juice Aim: To investigate the amount of vitamin C found in all kinds of fruit juice Introduction : Vitamin C is an antioxidant‚ along with vitamin E‚ beta-carotene‚ and many other plant-based nutrients. Antioxidants block some of the damage caused by free radicals‚ substances that damage DNA. The build-up of free radicals over time may contribute to the aging process and the development of health conditions such as

Activity 1.21- Is high Vitamin C all it claims to be? Purpose: * To investigate the vitamin C content of fruit juice * To investigate which type of fruit juice provides the most vitamin C The quantity of vitamin C in food and drink can be determined using a simple colour test. Vitamin C decolourises the blue dye DCPIP (dichlorophenolindolphenol). Vitamin C is an antioxidant and reduces the DCPIP. DCPIP changes from blue to colourless (or slightly pink) as it becomes reduced. We will

Temperature on Content of Vitamin C Introduction A daily intake of Vitamin C is essential for humans. Without it‚ the disease scurvy develops as sailors‚ explorers and people during the long winters in the Northern hemisphere found before the time of Captain Cook. The British Navy started giving sailors lime juice to prevent scurvy on long voyages in 1795. Vitamin C is found in high levels in foods such as oranges‚ limes‚ lemons‚ blackcurrants‚ parsley and capsicums. Vitamin C is water soluble and is

Experiment #10 Volumetric Analysis The Titration of Acids and Bases Purpose This experiment will allow you to gain practical experience in the preparing standard solutions‚ using a pipette and a buret‚ and performing standard titrations. You will use this experience to experimentally determine the concentration of acetic acid in an unknown solution. There are three parts to this experiment‚ they are 1. Preparation a standard solution of oxalic acid (~0.07 M) 2. Preparation a sodium

Standard Iron (II) Solution 8g of hydrated iron (II) ammonium sulfate is weighed accurately using a 50mL beaker. The salt is transferred to a 250mL volumetric flask using a filter funnel‚ washed down with distilled water. The container is rinsed carefully and the rinsing is added to the volumetric flask. 100mL of water is added slowly to the volumetric flask‚ followed by 5mL of concentrated H¬2SO4. It is stoppered‚ shaken well and made up to the mark with distilled water. Standardizing Potassium

Vitamin C Content of Apple Juice Introduction Complete lack of ascorbic acid (a.k.a Vitamin C) in the diets of humans and other primates leads to a classic nutritional disease‚ scurvy. This disease was widespread in Europe during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries‚ but it is rare today. Ascorbic acid is widely distributed in nature‚ but it occurs in extremely high concentrations in citrus and green plants such as green peppers and spinach. Ascorbic acid can be synthesized

acid‚ which translates into a 0.87 mol/L concentration of acetic acid. The concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar sample should be the same. Purpose: If we add acid solution to basic solution to produce water and salt this activity is called titration. It involves carefully adding one solution to another until chemically equivalent amounts react. Vinegar is a solution of a weak acid in water. This acid will react with the base sodium hydroxide in a 1:1 molar ratio. If a solution of NaOH of known

Titration is a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis that is used to determine the unknown concentration of a known reactant. Because volume measurements play a key role in titration‚ it is also known as volumetric analysis. A reagent‚ called the titrant or titrator‚[1] of a known concentration (a standard solution) and volume is used to react with a solution of the analyte or titrand‚[2] whose concentration is not known.
