Ascorbic Acid
Ascorbic Acid (Product Code: SCL348/074) is an analytical reagent grade chemical, better known as vitamin C, used for vitamin C tests, redox titrations and antioxidant demonstrations in school and college laboratories. It comes in a 100 g pack and is supplied with an MSDS, so teachers have handling and storage information from the start. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier for schools and colleges.

What Is Ascorbic Acid Used For in the Lab?
A classic school practical is the vitamin C test: ascorbic acid decolourises DCPIP or iodine solution, and students compare how much fruit juice is needed to produce the same change as a standard solution. Because it is a reducing agent, ascorbic acid also appears in iodine redox titrations with starch indicator and in demonstrations of how antioxidants slow the browning of cut fruit.
Weigh portions with a clean, dry spatula, make solutions up on the day of use because vitamin C oxidises in air and light, and keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry, dark place. Schools buying from a chemistry consumables supplier in India often order it with iodine solution and starch for the same practical.

Related Laboratory Equipment
A vitamin C titration needs a few reagents and pieces of glassware alongside the acid:
- Potassium Iodine-Iodine Solution — the titrant that reacts with vitamin C.
- Soluble Starch — indicator that shows the titration end point.
- Burette — delivers the iodine solution in measured volumes.
- Conical Jar (Erlenmeyer) 100 ml — the titration flask for samples.
- Dropper Bottle — for dispensing test solutions drop by drop.
