What is it about?
The oxidation constant of Vitacid-C (Vit-C) in potassium chromate catalyzed by phosphate was studied. Molecular mechanics calculations suggest that the potential energy of the optimum molecular geometric structure of Vit-C is at least ten times of magnitude more stable than the PE of the molecular geometric structure of the same matrix.

Why is it important?
The oxidation constant of Vit-C by K2CrO4 catalyzed by different phosphate buffer were computed and discussed.
Perspectives
The limit of detection can be as low as 4.93 ppm (mgL-1) of Vit-C without treatment. This is about eight times (8.21) lower than that reported previously. The oxidation constant of Vit-C by K2CrO4 catalyzed by different mineral acids according to the following series: HClO4 > H2SO4 > HNO3 > HCl > H3PO4.
