Determination of Vitamin C Concentration by Titration Serena Kim Vasantha Susarla McGill University Introduction This experiment is being performed to determine the concentration of Vitamin C in different solutions by performing a redox reaction with potassium iodate. Vitamin C, which is also called ascorbic acid, can be naturally found in citrus fruits and common vegetables. Vitamin C is considered as an antioxidant because it acts as a coenzyme and
as Vitamin C, which many know are most commonly found in citrus fruits and some vegetables, eg; oranges, limes, lemons, bell peppers, etc.Vitamin C can be easily oxidized, when the ascorbic acid reacts to form dehydroascorbic acid. This is when two hydrogen atoms are lost, forming two ketone groups. Vitamin C is also a biological compound that is actively involved in the synthesis of collagen which is responsible for the structural protein in the hair, nail and skin growth. The vitamin C also has an
order to calculate the mass of vitamin C content to determine which fruit is enriched with vitamin C that can be taken in voyages. This task was performed by titration of vitamin C in given fruits followed by standardization of iodine solution. Standardization of iodine solution was done with known amount of vitamin C tablet and using fresh fruit juice did vitamin C titration. Consequently, the class average was taken of calculated mass of fruit and mass of vitamin C content. Then, those averages were

In the context of a contemporary society, he argues that such issues can be applied by reappraising what are products of an individual’s milieu and what are caused by the fabric of a society. The importance of this in a contemporary society is that it establishes the dichotomy
societies. The sociological study of humans is a full range, from the analysis of passing encounters between individuals in the street to the passing of global social processes. Thinking sociologically is to “defamiliarize the familiar.” (Bauman, 1990, 10). C.

Told in the famous C.S. Lewis The Screwtape letter, a well-known demon informs his nephew, Wormwood, of a struggle that the Christians face still today. A well lesson to all Christians, Screwtape advises Wormwood to go and let the patient talk like a parrot without discipline when in prayer. As explained by Screwtape, “When the patient is an adult recently reconverted to the Enemy’s party, like your man, this is best done by encouraging him to remember, or to think he remembers, the parrot-like
Sociological Imagination C. Wright Mills, an American Sociologist created sociological imagination in 1959 to describe the insight accessible via sociology. Consequently, Mills definition of sociological imagination is the following, “...the vivid awareness of the relationship between experience and the wider society. The capacity to shift from one perspective to another—from the political to the psychological; from examination of a single family to a comparative assessment of the national budgets
The term sociological imagination was invented by C Wright Mills. Mills book is his definition of what he calls The Sociological Imagination.

In the book, Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis wrote from the perspective of an experienced tempter, who gave advice on tempting humans to his young nephew, Wormwood. Being posed with the question: does C. L. Lewis’ style effectively warns the readers of Screwtape Letters of the methods that Satan uses, or does the style encourage us to be sympathetic to Screwtape or Wormwood?, I believe that Lewis’s style was an effective teaching method and there are three lessons that can be learned from the book:
In C. Wright Mills’ 1959 The Sociological Imagination is all about how society sees things in their lives and how the make sense of it. Throughout the chapter Mills continues to point out that pretty much everything influences other things. It’s all about how the people view certain things in the world, what the make of it, and what’s going to happen next with a relatable situation. The basic idea that one needs to get from this reading is that Mills is analyzing change. How things happen and how
