This work was developed with the objective of determining the oxidation profile of ascorbic acid in solution using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry, observing the oxidation behavior due to the increase in the concentration of ascorbic acid in solution using In the electrochemical measurements, a carbon-modified glass-carbon electrode and Nafion®, a polymer widely used in electrochemical analysis. The experiments had an emphasy on standard ascorbic acid analysis, but were also performed with vitamin C tablets of different trade marks, obtaining in both a significant increase of the anodic peak currents coming from the oxidation of the ascorbic acid, resulting from a good stability Of the modified working electrode. For comparison purposes with the Nafion®-modified glass carbon electrode, standard ascorbic acid analyzes were also performed with the use of the vitreous carbon electrode. With the results of the analysis it was possible to determine the mass of ascorbic acid found in vitamin C tablets, from the construction of an analytical curve, in which it presented the necessary parameters for this. By varying the scanning velocities of the analyzes by cyclic voltammetry, it was possible to find out when plotting the current x square root velocity graphs by which process the oxidation of ascorbic acid on the electrode surface would occur. The electrochemical experiments with standard ascorbic acid showed the oxidation behavior by varying the pH of the phosphate buffer solution, evidencing the best pH range to work using the Nafion® modified glass carbon electrode. The use of square wave and differential pulse voltammetry techniques allowed to now the profile of the oxidation of ascorbic acid in vitamin C tablets, demonstrating a better sensibility in the peak current signal by the use of differential pulse voltammetry.
