Vitamin-C-Titration mit Iod

Messung des Ascorbinsäuregehalts in Fruchtsaft

Titrations Intermediate (High School) 40 Min. ~$10,00

Ziel

Den Vitamin-C-Gehalt (Ascorbinsäure) in frischem Fruchtsaft durch eine Iodtitration mit Stärkeindikator bestimmen.

Hintergrund

Ascorbic acid reduces iodine to iodide ions in a 1:1 molar ratio. Starch indicator turns dark blue-black in the presence of excess iodine. When all the vitamin C is consumed, the next drop of iodine produces the blue-black color, marking the endpoint.

Sicherheitswarnungen

  • Iodine stains skin and clothing
  • Wear safety goggles
  • Handle iodine solution with care

Materialien

  • Fresh orange juice (200 mL)
    Freshly squeezed preferred
  • Iodine solution (100 mL)
    0.005M
  • Starch indicator solution (10 mL)
    1% solution
  • Distilled water (200 mL)

Ausrüstung

50 mL burette Burette stand and clamp 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask 25 mL pipette Pipette filler White tile

Durchführung

1

Rinse and fill the burette with the standardized iodine solution. Record the initial volume.

3 Min. Iodine stains
2

Pipette 25.0 mL of orange juice into the Erlenmeyer flask.

2 Min.
3

Add 5 drops of starch indicator to the flask.

1 Min.
4

Titrate by adding iodine solution slowly while swirling. The brown iodine color will disappear as it reacts with vitamin C.

8 Min.
5

Near the endpoint, add drop by drop until a persistent dark blue-black color appears for 20 seconds.

3 Min.
6

Record the final volume and repeat for concordant results.

15 Min.
7

Calculate the mass of vitamin C per volume of juice. Compare with the labeled value.

5 Min.

Erwartete Ergebnisse

Fresh orange juice typically contains 40-80 mg of vitamin C per 100 mL. The starch-iodine endpoint should be a sharp transition to blue-black. Older or heat-treated juice will show lower vitamin C content.

Aufräumen

Dispose of iodine waste in designated containers. Rinse all glassware with water. Clean any iodine stains with sodium thiosulfate solution.
