Abstract
The measurement of the oxidation-reduction potential of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is desirable in the elucidation of its physiological action. Two attempts have been made to measure this potential. Georgescu(1) concluded that he had obtained a thermodynamically reversible potential at pH 6.9, and 7.0 at 20°C. From the data presented, however, it is not possible to accept this interpretation without reservation.
