A 100 mg vitamin C tablet weighed 1.681 g. A student crushed the tablet and transferred 0.150 g of the crushed powder into a 100 mL volumetric flask, dissolved the powder in ~30 mL DI water, then filled the flask to the calibration line with DI water and mixed well to create Solution 1. The student then transferred 19.82 mL of Solution 1 into a 100 mL volumetric flask and diluted to the calibration line with DI water to create Solution 2. Calculate the expected concentration (in mM) of ascorbic acid in Solution 2. Hint: Remember that you are starting with a 100 mg vitamin C tablet.
