Calculate the weight percent of ascorbic acid in a tablet of Vitamin C using correct significant figures from the following data: A 90 mg sample of a crushed Vitamin C tablet was dissolved in 40 mL of H2SO4 and 20 mL of water. Two grams of KI and 20. mL of 0.0120 M KIO3 solution was added, and the mixture titrated to a starch endpoint. The titration required 12 mL of 0.0530 M thiosulfate solution. Weight = _____ %

Oral rehydration salts are stated to contain the following components: Sodium Chloride 3.5g Potassium Chloride 1.5g Sodium Citrate 2.9g Anhydrous Glucose 20.0g 8.342 g of oral rehydration salts are dissolved in 500 ml of water. 5 ml of the solution is diluted to 100 ml and then 5 ml is taken from the diluted sample and is diluted to 100 ml. The sodium content of the sample is then determined by flame photometry. The sodium salts used to prepare the mixture were: Trisodium citrate hydrate (C6H5Na3O7, 2H2O) MW 294.1 and sodium chloride (NaCl) NW 58.5. Atomic weight of Na = 23. The content of Na in the diluted sample was determined to be 0.3210 mg/100 ml. Determine the % of stated content of Na in the sample. The stated should be 104.5, how??

A 1 mL sample of glycogen was calculated to contain 21 µmol (micromole) glucose. To 1 mL of this sample was added 2 mL of 2 M HCl. It was then hydrolysed by boiling the solution for 15 minutes. After boiling the hydrolysate was cooled and made up with H2O to a final volume of exactly 10 mL. The glucose was measured in this solution and found to have a concentration of 340 µg/mL (microgram/milliliter). i) Calculate the mass (mg) of glucose in the 10 mL of hydrolysate. As the 1 mL of glycogen sample was made up to a final volume of 10 mL, this mass of glucose was produced by the hydrolysis of the original 1 mL glycogen sample. ii) Calculate the amount (µmol) of glucose produced by the hydrolysis of the glycogen sample. iii) Calculate the purity of the glycogen used in the sample as % Purity = (moles of measured glucose/ moles of calculated glucose in glycogen) *100 iv) state your answer in a complete sentence. Show your working out such that the marker can easily understand it.…
A 500.00 mg vitamin C (MW176.12g/mol) tablet was ground, acidified, and dissolved in H2O to make a 250.0 mL solution. A 50.00 mL aliquot containing vitamin C, KI and starch was analyzed and titrated with 12.31 mL of 0.01042 M KIO3. What is the % (w/w) vitamin C in the tablet? KIO3 + 5 KI + 6 H+ = 3 I2 + 6 K+ + 3 H2O C6H8O6 + I2 = C6H6O6 + 2I- + 2H+ 67.77 % 3.39 % 22.59 % 33.89 %
When a Vitamin C (ascorbic acid; MM = 176.12 g mol-1) tablet is crushed, dissolved and titrated with 0.0340 M KIO3(aq) to a purple/blue endpoint (given by a starch indicator), the volume of KIO3 used is 29.80 mL. If 60 mg of ascorbic acid is the recommended dietary allowance (i.e., 100% of the RDA), then what is the % RDA for the Vitamin C in the tablet? KIO3(aq) + 5 KI + 6 H+ → 3 I2(aq) + 3 H2O I2 (aq) + ascorbic acid → 2 I- + dehydroascorbic acid

A phamacist reconstituted a vial of 750 mg Cefuroxime Sodium Powder for Injection with 6mL of sterile water for injection. The reconstituted solution was dark amber-colored solution. The package insert states that solution colors range from clear to yellow depending on concentration, diluent, and storage conditions. The pharmacist was then hesitant to give the patient the solution due to its unusual dark color. Five portions were taken from a batch of cefuroxime sodium. Prior to testing in the instrument, each part was subjected to one of the following conditions: Conditions Specifications Temperature Portion 1: 8°C ± 2°C Portion 2: 30°C ± 2°C Portion 3: 40°C ± 2°C Light Portion 4: Kept in the dark Portion 5: Exposed to direct sunlight a.
