Question

1. Several procedures for the analysis of caffeine involve extracting the caffeine into an organic non-polar solvent (such as methylene chloride CH2Cl2). This about your experiment and what is discussed in the introduction. What might the advantage be for this approach? What is a disadvantage?

2. Think about what you said in the question above. If your sample was espresso, would your answer change? Why?

3. I was careless and ended up using a wavelength other than the peak (Say 250 nm). Would I still be able to carry out the experiment successfully? What might be the reason that I do not get optimum results?

4. I carried out the experiment using a scratched (or several scratches) cuvet for one standard, and clear cuvets for others. How might my calibration curve change (improve or get worse and why)? Pllllz answer these questions as soon as possible
