hi guys in this article we know about Vitamin C chemical name and its formula. Vitamin C is  is water soluble vitamin necessary for keeping teeth, gums and joint healthy ,play important role in normal metabolism of amino acid  healing of cuts and wounds and it provide resistant to our body against disease and infection.

Vitamin C chemical name and formula:- ascorbic acid,C6H8O6

Many of students who are reading in junior classes want to know what is the chemical name of vitamin C. Their answer is very simple, the chemical name of vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Vitamin C chemical name ascorbic acid is derived from scorbutus that is scurvy Vitamin C deficiency disease. There may be objective questions having multiple choice from chemical name of vitamin C such like—

Q1) the chemical name of vitamin C is

A) citric acid

B) acetic acid

C) oxalic acid

D) ascorbic acid

Their answer is option (D) ,the chemical name of vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Vitamin C chemical name ascorbic acid is a natural water soluble vitamin and ascorbic acid is stress reducing and act as antioxidant agent that function is fighting against bacterial infection and help in detoxifying chemical reaction in our body and formation of collagen fibre, tissues, teeth ,bone, connective tissues ,skin and capillaries. Vitamin C cannot be produce by human beings and store so it must be obtained in daily diet.

Molecular formula of ascorbic acid

Ascorbic acid have isomeric form like I- ascorbic acid and L-ascorbic acid. Vitamin C consist of L-ascorbic acid or simply ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid color is white to very pale yellow crystalline powder with pleasant sharp acidic taste and almost odorless. Molecular formula of ascorbic acid consist of 6 atom of carbon ,8 atom of Hydrogen and 6 atom of Oxygen they are bonded together by covalent bond that is shairing of electron so molecular formula of ascorbic acid is C6H8O6. There is multiple choice objectives questions from molecular formula of ascorbic acid such like

Molar mass of ascorbic acid

As we know molecular formula of ascorbic acid is C6H8O6. So molar mass of ascorbic acid is calculated as follows

Molar mass of 6 atom C = 12×6 = 72 g/mol

Molar mass of 8 atom H = 1×8 = 8 g/mol

Molar mass of 6 atom O = 16×6 = 96 g/mol

Molecular mass of ascorbic acid having formula C6H8O6 is = 72+8+96 = 176 g/mol

There is multiple choice questions may be asked from what is molar mass of ascorbic acid such like —

Q3) the molecular mass of ascorbic acid is

A) 178 g/mol

B) 176 g/mol

C) 174 g/mol

D) 172 g/mol

Answer option number B, the molecular mass of ascorbic acid is 176 g/mol

Summary :- Vitamin C chemical name is ascorbic acid and molecular formula of ascorbic acid is C6H8O6 and Molecular mass of ascorbic acid is approx 176 g/mol.
