Question
ascorbic acid, or vitamin c (C6H8O6, molar mass =176g/mol) is naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant properties. A healthy adults diet requirement of vitamin C is 70-90 mg. A sweet lime contains 2.84x10^-4 moles of a ascorbic acid. to determine whether the ascorbic acid in a sweet lime meets the daily requirement, calculate the mass of the ascorbic acid in 2.84*10^-4 mol of ascorbic acid.
Explanation / Answer
No of mole of ascorbicacid(n) = weight of ascorbicacid(w)/ molecular weight of ascorbicacid(mwt)
2.84*10^-4 = (w/176)
w = 0.0499 g
= 0.0500 g
