    This document describes an iodimetric titration procedure to determine the strength of ascorbic acid by titrating a sample against a standard N/10 iodine solution. Iodimetric titrations involve using iodine as the oxidizing agent to titrate against a reducing agent like ascorbic acid. The endpoint of the titration is detected using starch solution, which turns from colorless to a permanent light blue color upon reaching the endpoint. The amount of iodine solution used is then used to calculate the amount and purity percentage of ascorbic acid in the given sample.

    IODIMETRIC TITRATION

    Aim:To determine the strength of given ascorbic acid by titrating against standard N/10 iodine
    solution.

    Principle:
    Iodimetric titrations are defined as those iodine titrations in which a standard iodine solution is used
    as an oxidant and iodine is directly titrated against a reducing agent. Iodimetiric procedures are used
    for the determination of reducing agents like thiosulphates, sulphites, arsenates and stannous
    chloride etc. by titrating against standard solution of iodine taken in a burette.

    The titration of a reducing agent such as ascorbic acid with iodine (I2 ,generally present as I3- ,
    triiodide ion) to produce iodide ion (I -) is referred to as an iodimetric titration.

    C6 H8 O6 + 2 H2O + I2 C6 H6 O6 + 2 I - + 2 H3 O +
    Ascorbic acid (vit –C) excess

    Reagents:
    Standard N/10 Iodine, given ascorbic acid powder, 0.1 N H2SO4,freshly prepared 1% starch
    solution

    Apparatus:

    Pipettes, burette, conical flask.

    Procedure:
    Clean the burette and fill with standard N/10 Iodine solution and note the initial reading.

    Take 0.100gms of given ascorbic acid powder in a clean conical flask and dissolve it in 50 ml
    freshly boiled & cooled distilled water (CO2 free distilled water).

    Then add 0.1 N H2SO4 solution and 2ml of freshly prepared 1% starch solution.

    Mix well and titrate with Iodine solution, swirling the titration flask after each addition of iodine
    until a permanent light blue colour is just obtained.

    This is the end point. Note the burette reading and repeat the titration until two concordant values
    are obtained.

    Observation:
    Burette: N/10 standard Iodine solution
    Pipette: solution of ascorbic acid

    Indicator: Starch solution (freshly prepared)

    Colour change:Colourless to blue

    Observation table:

    S. No. Burette reading (ml) Vol. Of iodine


    Initial final solution used (ml)
    1. .........ml
    2. .........ml
    3. .........ml
    V2=.........ml

    Calculation:
    1 ml of 0.1 N I2 solution ≡ 0.008805 gm of ascorbic acid

    Then,

    Ascorbic acid in 0.1 gm ascorbic acid powder = 0.008805 X Burette Reading


    =…………………gm.

    Result:

    Report the percentage purity of given sample of ascorbic acid as final outcome.
