Question

A 0. 1220 g vitamin c tablet was dissolved in acid. This required 11. 50 ml of 0. 01740 m kio3 to reach the endpoint. Calculate percent by weight of ascorbic acid in the tablet

Answer 1

86.66 %  by weight of ascorbic acid in the tablet, when 0. 1220 g vitamin c tablet was dissolved in acid. This required 11. 50 ml of 0. 01740 m $KIO_3$ to reach the endpoint.

What is a balanced chemical equation?

A balanced chemical reaction is an equation that has equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow.

$3C_6H_80_6 +3I_2 +KIO_3 +5KI +6H^+$ → $3C_6H_60_6 +6I^- +3I_2+6K^+ +3H_2O$

So, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction will be:

$3C_6H_8O_6 +KIO_3$ → $3C_6H_6O_6 +KI + 3H_2O$

That means, 3 mol of of ascorbic acid reacts with 1 mol of $KIO_3$

Moles of $KIO_3$ available is 0.0174 X 0.0115 =0.0002001 mol

Moles of ascorbic acid to be yielded should be 3 X 0.0002001 =0.0006003

So, percent mass of ascorbic acid in the tablet will be:

(0.1057 / 0.1220) X 100 %

=86.66 %

Hence, the third option is the correct answer.
