What will happen with iodophor and vc?

Iodophor is an oxidizing agent and vitamin C is a reducing agent. When diluted with water, iodophor turns colorless when exposed to vitamin C. This is an oxidation-reduction reaction. The significance of the iodophor and vitamin C experiment is to confirm the oxidizing property of iodophor and the reducing property of vitamin C. Iodophor itself is colored, and the color becomes lighter when diluted with water.

Iodophor has weak oxidizing properties. When it encounters the oxidant vitamin C and undergoes a redox reaction, it can change color. Oxidation-reduction reaction is a strong reaction, and only a small amount can cause complete fading reaction. The principle is that there is an adjacent enol structure in the vitamin C molecule, which is easily oxidized, so it has strong reducing properties.
