I want to test the concentration of vitamin c (ascorbic acid) using an acid/base titration using 0.1 mol/L NaOH and bromothymol blue indicator. However I'm aware that using this titration, there may be a problem because of the presence of citric acid. The NaOH will react with the citric acid (twice) before reacting with ascorbic acid. How do I separate the citric acid from orange juice? Are there common indicators (that can be found in a high school lab) that can indicate when the first two citric acid has been neutralized? THANX
