1. write the balanced equation of the reaction of O2 with vitamin C and determine the potential of the reaction. is the reaction spontaneous? explain.

2. suppose the water that you used had not been boiled/deoxygenated. how would this have affected the amount of thiosulfate needed in the back titration, and the amount of vitamin C that you calculated to be in the sample that you used? explain.

Answer 1:The balanced equation for oxygen with vitamin C, ˆ ˆˆ2C6 H8O 6 + O 2 ‡ ˆ† C 6 H 8O 6 is as follows. 2C 6 H 6O 6 + 2H 2O Consider a cell with the above reaction as its overall...
