Question

This is from a lab experiment.

The orange fruit that was used to produce the juice sample contained 9 sections, but each fruit section could produce only 10 mL of juice when squeezed. Based on the number of mL of juice that was added (which is 5 mL) you can determine the fraction of the entire fruit that was analyzed.

Using the mass of asorbic acid in the juice titrated (which was 0.9706) and the fraction of the fruit that this represents (from above in this question) calculate the mass of asorbic acid in the entire orange.

Mass asorbic acid in an entire orange = ? mg

Explanation / Answer

Mass asorbic acid in an entire orange = ? mg

Total volume of juice = 9 sections * 10 mL of juice / 1 section = 90mL

One fraction used = 5.0 mL

Number of fractions = total volume;90 mL / 5.0 mL / one fraction = 18 fractions

The mass of ascorbic acid in one fraction = 0.9706 mg

The mass of ascorbic acid in 18fractions will = 0.9706 mg *18 =17.47 mg

Thus the mass of asorbic acid in the entire orange is17.47 mg .
