Answer all the questions
An experiment is carried out to investigate the content of vitamin C in certain fruit juices. The
experiment is as follows :
1. Preparation of fruit juices is shown in Diagram 1(a).

2. Standard ascorbic acid is used to decolorize the DCPIP as shown in Diagram 1(b).
23

3. The steps are repeated for lime juice and pineapple juice.
4. Results of the experiment are shown in Table 1.
