Assay of Ascorbic acid

Assay of Ascorbic acid Reagents Required: 1.0M Sulfuric acid 0.05M Iodine Procedure Weigh accurately about 0.1gm of sample and dissolve in a mixture of 100 ml freshly boiled and cooled water and 25ml of 1M sulfuric acid. Immediately Titrate with 0.05M iodine, using starch solution as indicator until a persistent blue-violet color is obtained. Each ml of 0.05M iodine is equivalent to 0.008806gm of ascorbic acid. Calculation: BR X Actual molarity X 0.008806 X 100 % of Ascorbic acid = ---------------------------------------------------- 0.05 X Wt. Of sample BR= Burette Reading
