A multivitamin sample has a label claim of 500 mg ascorbic acid (176.12 g/mol). According to quality assurance guidelines for stability, it has an acceptable range of 90.0%-110.0% of the label claim. After production, the multivitamin was analyzed through acid-base titration, and the sample needed 25.40 mL of a 0.1101 M NaOH titrant to reach the end point. After 3 months, the same multivitamin was analyzed again, and this time 23.34 mL of the same 0.1101 M titrant was used. After 6 months, the same multivitamin was analyzed again, and this time, 22.48 mL of the same 0.1101 M NaOH titrant was needed to reach the end point. 1. How many mg of ascorbic acid is present in the sample after production? 2. How many mg of ascorbic acid are present in the 3 month old sample? 3. How many mg of ascorbic acid are present in the 6 month old sample? 4. If the multivitamin was manufactured on March 2021, when is its most likely expiration date? a. June 2021 b. September 2021 c. December 2021 d. March 2022
