Question

A titration is performed using iodine as the titrant for determining the amount of vitamin C in a sample of lemon juice. A dark blue color appears, then fades rapidly, with the addition of the titrant. Starch is used as the indicator for the reaction.

A
The complex formed during the reaction between the vitamin C and iodine solution has finally turned a dark blue.

Solution

The correct option is A The complex formed during the reaction between the vitamin C and iodine solution has finally turned a dark blue.
