Question
  1. A 500.00 mg vitamin C (MW176.12g/mol) tablet was ground, acidified, and dissolved in H2O to make a 250.0 mL solution. A 50.00 mL aliquot containing vitamin C, KI and starch was analyzed and titrated with 12.31 mL of 0.01042 M KIO3. What is the % (w/w) vitamin C in the tablet? 

     

    KIO+ 5 KI + 6 H+ = 3 I+ 6 K+ + 3 H2O

    C6H8O6 + I2 = C6H6O6 + 2I- + 2H+

      A

    67.77 % 

      B

    33.89 %

      C
