Question

Using the average concentration of vitamin C determined in the experiment, how many fluid ounces of fruit juice should you drink, in order to consume 75 mg of vitamin C, which
is the Dietary Guideline of Vitamin C per day for women? (33.8 fluid ounce = 1 liter).

Average concentration of vitamin C = 1.602 mL

Answer 1

You should drink 1.6 × 10² fl oz of fruit juice with a vitamin C concentration of 1.602 mg/100mL in order to consume 75 mg of vitamin C.

The average concentration of vitamin C in the given fruit juice is 1.602 mg/100mL, that is, there are 1.602 mg of vitamin C per 100 mL of juice. The volume of juice that contains 75 mg of vitamin C is:

$75mg\ vitamin\ C \ times \frac{100mL\ Juice}{1.602mg\ vitamin\ C} = 4.7 \times 10^{3} mL\ Juice$

Then, we will convert 4.7 × 10³ mL to fluid ounce using the following conversion factors:

• 1 L = 1000 mL
• 1 L = 33.8 fl oz

$4.7 \times 10^{3} mL \times \frac{1L}{1000mL} \times \frac{33.8 fl\ oz}{1L} = 1.6 \times 10^{2} fl\ oz$

You should drink 1.6 × 10² fl oz of fruit juice with a vitamin C concentration of 1.602 mg/100mL in order to consume 75 mg of vitamin C.
