Explanation / Answer

Ans.

Part A: Molarity of Ascorbic acid

Mass of ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) = 0.032 g

            Molar mass of ascorbic acid = 176.12592 g mol-1

            Number of moles = Mass/ Molar mass

                                    = 0.032 g / (176.12592 g mol-1) = 1.82 x 10-4 moles

                Final volume made upto = 100.0 mL = 0.1 L                   ; [1 L =1000 mL]

            Molarity, M = Moles / Volume (in L) of solution

                                    = (1.82 x 10-4 moles) / 0.1 L

                                    = 1.82 x 10-3 M = 0.00182 M

Hence, molarity of ascorbic acid = 1.82 x 10-3 M = 0.00182 M

Part B: Standardization of DCP

            Volume of Ascorbic acid being titrated in each trial = 10.0 mL

            Volume of DCP consumed, trial 1 = (24.1 – 1.3) mL = 22.8 mL

            Volume of DCP consumed, trial 2 = (22.1 – 0.5) mL = 21.6 mL

            Volume of DCP consumed, trial 3 = (22.3 – 0.5) mL = 21.8 mL

            Average of trail 1, 2 ,3 = (22.8+ 21.6+ 21.8) mL/3 = 22.07 mL

Thus, average volume of DCP consumed per 10.0 mL ascorbic acid = 22.07 mL

Stoichiometry: 1 mol DCP neutralizes 1 mol ascorbic acid.

Now, using formula: M1V1 = M2V2

M1= molarity of solution 1, V1= volume of solution 1      ;[Ascorbic acid]

M2= molarity of solution 2, V2= volume of solution 2      , [DCP]

Or, 0.00182 M x 10.0 mL = M2 x 22.07 mL

            Or, M2 = (0.00182 M x 10.0 mL) / 22.07 mL = 8.25 x 10-4 M

Thus, molarity of DCP = 8.25 x 10-4 M

Part C: Calculating citric acid in fruit juice

            Volume of fruit being titrated in each trial = 5.0 mL

            Volume of DCP consumed, trial 1 = (18.6 – 0.2) mL = 18.4 mL

            Volume of DCP consumed, trial 2 = (17.4 – 0.4) mL = 17.0 mL

            Volume of DCP consumed, trial 3 = (18.0 – 0.3) mL = 17.7 mL

            Average of trail 1, 2 ,3 = (18.4 + 17.0 + 17.7) mL/3 = 17. 7 mL

Now, (M1V1) DCP = (M2V2) fruit juice

            (8.25 x 10-4 M x 17.7 mL) = M2 x 5.0 mL

            Or, M2 = (8.25 x 10-4 M x 17.7 mL) / 5.0 mL

            Hence, M2 = 2.81 x 10-3 M

Thus, molarity of ascorbic acid in fruit juice 2.81 x 10-3 M

Part D. Mass of ascorbic acid in fruit juice

Let the volume of fruit juice be 1.0 L

            Moles of acid in fruit juice = Molarity x Volume (L)

                                    = (2.81 x 10-3 M) x 1.0 L = 2.81 x 10-3 mol

Mass of ascorbic acid in 1.0 L juice = Moles x Molar mass

                                    = 2.81 x 10-3 mol x (176.12592 g mol-1)

                                    = 0.49523 g

                                    = 495.23 mg

Calculate DRI accordingly.

Note: It’s assumed that only DCP and ascorbic acid neutralize each other.
