Answer 4

One common way to test for vitamin C is by using iodine solution. Ascorbic acid in vitamin C reduces iodine to iodide, causing the iodine solution to change color from brown to clear. Another method is using UV-visible spectrophotometry to measure the absorbance of vitamin C at a specific wavelength. Additionally, titration with an oxidizing agent such as iodine can also be used to determine the vitamin C content in a sample.
