Answer:

mL of NaOH required =29.9mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us calculate the moles of vitamin C in the tablet:

The molar mass of Vitamin C is 176.14 g/mole


moles=(mass)/(molarmass)=(500mg)/(176.14)=(0.5)/(176.14)=0.0028

Thus we need same number of moles of NaOH to reach the equivalence point.

For NaOH solution:


moles=MolarityXvolume=0.095Xvolume


0.00283=0.095Xvolume


volume=0.0299L=29.9mL
