Prelab for Determination of Vitamin C by Redox Titration SD
In this experiment, iodine is
reduced to I- (I 1 minus)
In this experiment, what reacts with the starch to turn it purple?
excess iodine.
In the balanced redox reaction between I2 and ascorbic acid, which of the following is true?
1 mole I2 reacts with 1 mole ascorbic acid
How many moles of ascorbic acid can be reacted with 0.00013 moles of I2 in this experiment?
0.00013 moles
A redox titration similar to this one requires 30.65 mL of iodine solution to titrate a sample containing 25.00 mL of 0.0002487 M ascorbic acid to the end point. What is the molarity of the iodine?
0.0002029 M
Ex.
Masc x Vasc = MI2 x VI2
MI2 = (0.0002487 x 25 ) / (30.65)
MI2 = 0.0002029 M
