Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, so your body doesn't store it. You have to get the required amount from your diet (citrus fruits are a great source!), or you could take a daily vitamin C supplement pill. Vitamin C is ascorbic acid, so to determine how much vitamin C (acid) has been placed in each pill, you could do an acid-base titration. One vitamin C pill was dissolved in water and titrated to an endpoint by 16.00 mL of a 0.447 M solution of NaOH. How many grams of ascorbic acid were there in the pill? (MW of ascorbic acid is 176.1 /mol). Explain and show your work.​

Mass of ascorbic acid in the pill = 7.152 x 176.1/1000 = 1.26 g

Explanation:  

The mass of ascorbic acid in the pill would be,  

1.26 g  

Now,  

Moles of ascorbic acid = Moles of NaOH = 0.447 M x 16 ml = 7.152 mmol  

Mass of ascorbic acid in the pill = 7.152 x 176.1/1000 = 1.26 g

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.

the number of valence electrons for each molecule or ion is shown beneath the structure. remember hydrogen will not have more than two electrons. this hydrogen is part of a covalent bond (sharing two electrons). a double bond here would cause hydrogen to share four electrons with phosphorus.
