Hi Giannamaria,

It sounds like you are interested in doing this Science Buddies project:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ml#summary

This is listed as an abbreviated project idea in Science Buddies, but it uses the method for measuring Vitamin C in this project:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p044.shtml

The chemical you want is called Lugol's iodine solution. You can purchase a kit with all the materials for the project from the link on this page:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... #materials

I hope that helps. Please post if you have more questions!
