    Point Titration
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a titration experiment involving vitamin C, where the user lost their data on the equivalent points from three trials. They seek guidance on the expected volume at which the color change occurs during the titration, specifically whether it should be dark blue or pink. Responses indicate that the volume of titrant needed is highly dependent on the sample composition, which is unknown, making it difficult to provide a precise estimate. One suggestion is to acknowledge the data loss in the report and use hypothetical numbers for calculations to demonstrate effort. Ultimately, the uncertainty surrounding the experiment's results highlights the challenges of conducting titrations without complete data.

Homework Statement


OK, so I did this experiment a week ago,
I took 75g of juice and added some 1.5gKI, 7.5cm^3HCl and 5cm^3starch and titrated with Potassium Iodate 0.010M(KIO3). I did this titration again
For the third experiment, I just took 0.1g pure C-vitamin dissolved in some water instead of juice and everything the same.
But, unfortunately, I have lost my data and there is no possiblity that I can gain information from anywhere on the equivalent points of these 3 trials.

If you could just give me an idea at what volume the color would be dark blue (shud it be dark blue or pink?)
Just an idea in what range maybe?

e.g. 24cm^3 or something like that
The only thing I remember was that there wasn't a lot of difference between the eq. point in the first and the second trial...

P.S.
The reaction that takes place is:
IO3 + 5I + 6H ---- 3I2 + 3H2O
AND

I2 + c vitamin --- 2I + 'products'PLEASE HELP

REPORT DUE TOMORROW

There is no way anyone can help you. Volume of titrant depends on the sample composition, which is unknown. You may roll the dice as well.

Best approach I can think off is to write your report stating at the very beginning you have lost your data, so you made up some numbers and you did all the calculations using them. This way you at least show good will.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
