Question

Using these values -

Mass of asorbic acid in Drink - 0.9705 mg   and Mass asorbic acid in Juice - 0.9706 mg

Using the above two values, it can be determined the amount of asorbic acid in a can of the soft drink, or in an entire fruit.

For the drink sample, the mass of the asorbic acid that was titrated with DCP (0.9705 i believe)   However, this is not the amount of asorbic acid in an entire can of soft drink. A can of soft drink has a solution volume of 440 mL. If you used 25 mL of the soda from the pipette, but an entire can has 440 mL, you need to multiply the measured mg of asorbic acid in the drink sample by 440/25 to get the amount of asorbic acid in the entire can.

What is the mass, in mg of asorbic acid in a full can of flavored soft drink?

Mass asorbic acid for a full can of drink = ? mg

Explanation / Answer

Volume of soft drink =440 ml

Volume of sample used = 25 ml

mass of asorbic acid in sample = 0.9705 mg

mass of asorbic acid in can = 0.9705*440/25 = 17.08 mg
