Vitamin C Molecule Investigation Thomas Philpott Introduction Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential component of human nutrition‚ as it is an antioxidant that the body requires. Having a deficiency in Vitamin C can lead to scurvy‚ a disease characterized by abnormalities in human bones and teeth. Fruits and vegetables are common sources of Vitamin C‚ notably oranges and citrus fruits. Cooking and the application of heat destroy the vitamin so such fruits must be raw in order to obtain the

EXPERIMENT 1 DETERMINATION OF ASCORBIC ACID CONTENT IN VITAMIN C TABLETS INTRODUCTION To calculate the mass of the ascorbic acid and hence the mass percentage of ascorbic acid in the vitamin C tablet. PROCEDURES (Refer to Lab Manual) 1. Accurately weight vitamin C (effervescent type) in a 50 ml beaker. Add about 30 ml of deionised water to dissolve the vitamin C tablet. Once the tablet has dissolved completely‚ transfer the solution into a 250 ml volumetric flask via a plastic filter

Effect of Heat on Vitamin C Objective: - To determine whether the concentration of Vitamin C in a fruit juice changes upon heating at a constant temperature for different periods of time. - To investigate how the trend goes (whether the concentration of Vitamin C increases or decreases) if the amount of Vitamin C does change. Theory: - Hypothesis: The concentration of Vitamin C in the fruit juice changes and decreases upon heatingat a constant temperature for increasing periods of time

Determination of the concentration of vitamin C in fruits/vegetables by using the DCPIP test (2008) Principle : Vitamin C is a strong reducing agent. It can decolorize the blue dye DCPIP. The amount of vitamin C in a food sample can be estimated by the amount of it that is used to decolorize a fixed amount of DCPIP. Apparatus : Test tube‚ clean and dry Test tube rack 5 ml syringe or a good quality squeezing pipette 1 ml pipette

How is Vitamin C manufactured? Ascorbic Acid Also known as: l-ascorbic acid‚ vitamin C‚ ascorbate A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets‚ and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form‚ vitamin C‚ functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant. http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary

INTRODUCTION In our experiment we tested the amount of vitamin C in a certain amount of lemon juice. We did this with the help of PCPIP which is an indicator that shows the presence if C vitamin. For this we used the mentioned indicator‚ pipette‚ three eprouvetes‚ 0.1% of C vitamin solution and lemon juice. First we had to get the volume of 0.1% vitamin C solution that is needed for our amount of PCPIP (2ml) to decolorize. Then we had to determine the volume of lemon juice that is needed to

Though these packs are artificially made‚ they are made by orange by products they don’t have to write artificially flavored on the bottles. This would be fine in all if it didn’t contain

Purpose: To find the percent of sugar by mass in chewing gum Hypothesis: The percentage of chewing gum that is sugar for bubble gum is 30%‚ 20% for juicy fruit and 25% for stride gum. Mass Of Juicy Fruit Mass Of Bubble Gum Mass of Juicy Fruit unchewed | 7.12g- 1.72 = 5.4 g | 5.80g- 1.72g = 4.08 | 4.52g- 1.72g = 2.80g | chewed | 3.00g- 1.72g= 1.28g | 2.24g-1.72g =0.52g | 2.86g-1.72g= 1.14g | Percent of Sugar | 3.00g x 100/ 5.4 = 55.5%

example‚ we used error bar where we are trying to compare experiment with controls in Biology. Hepatitis C virus is really difficult to isolate so scientists compared DNA copies of HCV clones and identified one DNA sequence in all clones. We can’t measure perfectly so the results may be meaningless and we used error bar to used on graphs to show the error. Most

This is done in order to study the effects of solutions containing varying levels of tonicity to red blood cells. Tonicity describes what happens to a cell when it is
