Kornkid Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I've been working with Vitamin C titrations lately and iwas wondering if there were any other ways in which i could show the mass/concentration of vitamin c in a sample volume within a school lab. Any input i would be greatful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 your school doesn't happen to be rich and own a gas cromatograph does it? you could probably also use IR spectra. but titrations are easier and cheaper. If you find titrations boring, try doing it one handed. cos if you pursue a career in chemistry your going to to do thousands of them. i'm at 218 titrations and i'm only in the first year of Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yggdrasil Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Isn't aqueous ascorbic acid slightly yellow? You could probably estimate the concentration spectrophotometrically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably estimate the concentration spectrophotometrically. not that i've noticed. probably wouldn't be accurate for low concentrations.

Kornkid Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 unfortunately the department is quite under funded so it looks like i my have to go to a university to use the equipment. Can i use thin layer chromatography to find out the contents of pepper juice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
