Answer #1

Hi,

As you would be already knowing that Vitamin C is L-ascorbic acid.Its structure is shown below

Now,

Methanol (CH3OH) is a polar protic solvent.


Now as vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is a highly polar compound due to the negative charge from the oxygen (it can be checked by shifting the double bond of oxygen)of all the hydroxy groups.i.e it is a polar compound

Now as we know Methanol is a polar solvent

Therefore due to "like dissolves like" Vitamin C is soluble in methanol.

Analogy to the Vinegar Analysis We analyze a vitamin C tablet for ascorbic acid, a weak acid with a molar mass of 176.13 g/mole. Once crushed and dissolved in water, it titrates to a nice phenolphthalein/peach-colored endpoint in a 1:1 reaction with sodium hydroxide. A single tablet of 0.607 g is titrated to endpoint against 0.1120 M sodium hydroxide solution. The initial volume of sodium hydroxide titrant is 0.34 mL, and at endpoint the volume is 26.38 mL. Use this...
