PROBLEM: A multivitamin sample has a label claim of 500 mg ascorbic acid (176.12 g/mol). According to quality assurance guidelines for stability, it has an acceptable range of 90.0%-110.0% of the label claim. After production, the multivitamin was analyzed through acid-base titration, and the sample needed 25.40 mL of a 0.1101 M NaOH titrant to reach the end point. After 3 months, the same multivitamin was analyzed again, and this time 23.34 mL of the same 0.1101 M titrant was used. After 6 months, the same multivitamin was analyzed again, and this time, 22.48 mL of the same 0.1101 M NaOH titrant was needed to reach the end point.   Question: 1. How many mg of ascorbic acid is present in the sample after production? 2. How many mg of ascorbic acid are present in the 3 month old sample?
