Sarah wonders which juice - freshly squeezed or store-bought - contains more vitamin C. To test this, the experiment titrates fresh and heated orange juice with iodine solution. The titration results will be recorded and used to calculate the molar concentrations and determine which juice has a higher concentration of ascorbic acid, and thus more vitamin C. The hypothesis is that fresh orange juice will provide more vitamin C than store-bought juice.

Observation: After visiting the doctor for the flu like symptoms. Sarah’s doctor recommended her to
drink generous amounts of orange juice. At home, she notices freshly squeezed, pure orange juice in the
refrigerator. Next to this was a carton of store-bought orange juice. Sarah wonders which of the 2 juices
will provide her with more vitamin C.

Hypothesis: Freshly squeezed orange juice will provide Sarah with more vitamin C, whereas from the
store will not. With freshly squeezed orange juice you will get 100% vitamin C.

Aim: To determine which juice is a better choice.

Materials/Apparatus: pipette, 6 conical flask, iodine solution, starch indicator solution, pipette filler, fresh
orange juice, heated orange juice, dropper, burette.

Method:

1. Pipette 25cm3 of fresh orange juice into 3 conical flask.


2. Add 10 drops of starch solution to each conical flask and swirl gently.
3. Rinse the burette and fill with iodine solution.
4. Place 1 conical flask under the tap of the burette.
5. Gently open the tap to allow the iodine to flow out while the flask was being swirled.
6. Continue the process until a color change of blue-black.
7. Stop the titration process and record the readings.
8. Using steps 3-7 repeat the other 2 conical flask and record the data.
9. Made calculations to find the molar concentrations of the fresh orange juice.
10. Repeat steps 1-9 using the heated orange juice.

Expected Results: Fresh orange juice is a better choice than the store because there are other added
nutrients in it, whereas the fresh orange juice is high in vitamin C. Ascorbic acid + I 2 to produce 2 I +
dehydroascorbic acid.

Variables:

Constant- Titration of orange juice and heated orange juice.

Manipulated- Juice.

Responding- Titration the number of fresh and heated orange juice.

Precautious:

1. The tap of the burette has to be opened gently.


2. Go eye level to read the values on the burette.

Source of Error:

1. The volume was read wrong.

Assumption: The freshly squeezed orange juice has a higher concentration of ascorbic acid when
compared to the store-bought orange juice.

Conclusion: It was determined that freshly squeezed orange juice is a healthy choice than store-bought
orange juice.
