Applications
Ascorbic acid is also called vitamin c. It exists in two enantiomeric forms and is commonly extracted from naturally occurring substances. It is widely used as an antioxidant and a reducing agent.
APPLICATION OF ASCORBIC ACID
-It is widely used as a food additive it combat oxidation.
-It is used as a dietary supplement
-Ascorbic acid is easily oxidized and so is used as a reductant in photographic developer solutions
-In fluorescence microscopy and related fluorescence-based techniques, ascorbic acid can be used as an antioxidant to increase fluorescent signal and chemically retard dye photobleaching.
-It is also commonly used to remove dissolved metal stains, such as iron, from fiberglass swimming pool surfaces.
-In plastic manufacturing, ascorbic acid can be used to assemble molecular chains more quickly and with less waste than traditional synthesis methods.
-Heroin users are known to use ascorbic acid as a means to convert heroin base to a water-soluble salt so that it can be injected.
-As justified by its reaction with iodine, it is used to negate the effects of iodine tablets in water purification. It reacts with the sterilized water, removing the taste, color, and smell of the iodine. This is why it is often sold as a second set of tablets in most sporting goods stores as Potable Aqua-Neutralizing Tablets, along with the potassium iodide tablets.
-Intravenous high-dose ascorbate is being used as a chemotherapeutic and biological response modifying agent.
-It also prevents cancer due to its high antioxidant properties
-It is great for healthy skin
-Ascorbic acid plays a great role in developing immunity

| Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture |
Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the
risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier than air and will spread along
the ground. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable
distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
