Titrasi Vitamin C dengan Iodin

Mengukur kandungan asam askorbat dalam jus buah

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

Tujuan

Tentukan kandungan vitamin C (asam askorbat) jus buah segar menggunakan titrasi iodin dengan indikator pati.

Latar Belakang

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.

Peringatan Keselamatan

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

Hasil yang Diharapkan

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.

Pembersihan

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