Description: Erica’s chemistry class was studying a unit on acids and bases. They investigated the amount of vitamin C in a solution. Erica’s laboratory group decided to experiment with the amount of vitamin C in types of orange juice. The types of orange juice they experimented with were fresh, frozen, and bottled. They collected 100 mL of fresh squeezed juice. They mixed up 100 mL of frozen juice as directed on the package. They purchased 100 mL of orange juice from the vending machine in the cafeteria. Using an established procedure, the students measured the milligrams of vitamin C in each sample of juice.
