Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C (C6H8O6, molar mass = 176 g/mol), is a naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant propert
ies. 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.
Since water has a chemical formula of H2O , there will be 2 moles of hydrogen in every mole of water. In one mole of water, there will exist approximately 6.02⋅1023 water molecules.
