Ascorbic Acid (as kore' bik as' id). DEFINITION Ascorbic Acid contains NLT 99.0% and NMT 100.5% of C6H8O6. IDENTIFICATION • B. A 20-mg/mL solution reduces alkaline cupric tartrate TS slowly at room temperature but more readily upon heating. ASSAY • Procedure Sample: 400 mg of Ascorbic Acid Titrimetric system (See Titrimetry 541.) Mode: Direct titration Titrant: 0.1 N iodine VS Endpoint detection: Visual Blank: 100 mL of water and 25 mL of 2 N sulfuric acid. Add 3 mL of starch TS. Analysis: Dissolve the Sample in a mixture of 100 mL of water and 25 mL of 2 N sulfuric acid. Add 3 mL of starch TS, and titrate immediately with Titrant until a persistent violet-blue color is obtained. Calculate the percentage of ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) in the portion of Ascorbic Acid taken: Result = [(V B) × N × F × 100]/W
