The amount of ascorbic acid (vitamin C, C&HgO6) in tablets is determined by reaction with bromine and then titration of the hydrobromic acid with standard base C6H8O6 + Br2 -> C,H6O6 + 2HBR HBr + NAOH -> NaBr + H2O A certain tablet is advertised as containing 500 milligrams of vitamin C. A single tablet is dissolved in water and reacted with Br2, followed by titration with 43.20 mL of 0.1350 M NAOH. Verify if the tablet contained the advertised quantity of vitamin C.

How many moles of CaCO₃ is present in the limestone sample? C. What is the purity of the limestone in terms of %w/w CaCO₃?
A commercial vinegar was analyzed by titration to determine the percent acetic acid. Briefly, 10.00 mL of vinegar sample was diluted to 100. mL solution in volumetric flask. A 25.00 mL aliquot from the diluted vinegar required 25.55 mL of 0.1005 M NaOH to reach the phenolphthalein endpoint. Which is the correct equation between the analyte and titrant reaction? CH3COOH + NaOH → NaCH3COO + H2O 2CH3COOH + NaOH → NaCH3COO + H2O C20H14O4 + NaOH → NaC20H14O4 + H2O CH3COOH + 2NaOH → NaCH3COO + H2O

You have 25, 50, 150, 250 and 500 mL flasks.
A shipment of containing NaOH (40 g/mol) and Na2CO3 (106 g/mol) was declared to contain less than 10 % impurity. However, Noel is suspicious that the declared impurity is higher. Being the best and brightest employee of the year, Noel weighed 1.000 g sample, dissolved in 50.0 mL of distilled water and titrated with cold 0.5000 M HCl. With Phenolphthalein as indicator, the solution turns colorless after the addition of 30.00 mL of the acid. Methyl Orange is then added, and 5.00 mL more of the acid is required before this this indicator changes color. Calculate the following: a. Determine the volume of the acid to fully neutralize NaOH (final answer up to one decimal place) =
A 10.00mL sample of alcoholic ethyl acetate was diluted to 100.00 mL. 20.00 mL was aliquoted and mixed with 40.00 mL of 0.04672 M KOH. The resulting mixture was heated for 2 hours. CH3COOC2H5 + OH- → CH3COO- + C2H5OH After cooling, the excess OH was back titrated with 3.41 mL of 0.05042 M H2SO4. Answer the following: Calculate the number of moles of OH- that reacted with ethyl acetate. Calculate the number of moles of ethyl acetate in the 20.00 mL solution. What is the mass of ethyl acetate (FW=88.11 g/mol) in the original 10.00 mL sample?
