ITT:

If you take vitamin C supplements, tell me the gram, tell me how many mg the bottle claims each pill/capsule/tablet has.

Now, I acquire said brand, perform a titration and tell you how much absorbic acid there REALLY is in your supplement.

Why? Just for shits and giggles.

I am going to be using .25M NaOH and phenolphthalein.

I hope this board can stop being so fucking shitty and improve.

This is my way of saying, I hope what I do improves this board.

Will post results in 1 days time.
