Question

Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C (C6H8O6, molar mass = 176 g/mol), is a naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant properties. A healthy adult’s daily requirement of vitamin C is 70-90 mg. A sweet lime contains 2.87×10−4 molof ascorbic acid.
To determine whether the ascorbic acid in a sweet lime meets the daily requirement, calculate the mass of ascorbic acid in 2.87×10−4 mol of ascorbic acid.

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of ascorbic acid in 2.87×10−4 mol are 50,5 mg

Explanation:

Molar mass = 176 g/mol

Moles . molar mass = grams.

2,87 x10*-4 m . 176 g/m = 50,5 x10*-3 grams

A human can take one sweet lime and half to cover the daily requirement of vitamin C. =)
