Today’s Lesson Objectives:
• Carry out the Vitamin C core practical safely, following the method
provided.
• Gather accurate and sufficient data on the Vitamin C content of
different fruit juices.
• Calculate the Vitamin C content of each fruit juice tested, showing
full working and units.

Vitamin C Content of Fruit Juice: Calculations
STEP 1: Calculate the mass of Vitamin C needed to decolourise
the 1cm3 DCPIP…
Mass of Vitamin C to = 10mg x volume of 1% Vitamin C solution

decolourise DCPIP
Example: The average volume of 1% Vitamin C solution needed in
2022 was 0.25cm3. What was the mass to decolour DCPIP?
Mass of Vitamin C to = 10mg x 0.25
decolourise DCPIP
= 2.5mg of Vitamin C

STEP 2: Calculate the mass of Vitamin C in a juice sample…

Mass of Vitamin C in = Mass of Vitamin C x volume of juice

juice sample to decolour DCPIP


Example: The average volume of orange juice needed to decolour
DCPIP in 2022 was 2.4cm3. What was the mass of Vitamin C in
this juice?

Mass of Vitamin C in = 2.5mg x 2.4cm3


juice sample
= 6.0 mg/cm3 of Vitamin C
