Caffeine occurs naturally in tea leaves and coffee beans. Pure caffeine (mp 236°C) is a white crystalline solid material at room temperature. It is classified as an alkaloid - a nitrogen-containing basic compound that is obtained from plants and has physiological effects in the body. A student pulverizes 8.78 grams (g) of coffee beans into a finely ground powder by using a mortar and pestle. The caffeine is then extracted into 300 mL of boiling dichloromethane (CH2CII2) by the same solid- liquid extraction technique used in Unit 1. After 30 minutes, the solution is filtered hot to remove a large amount of brown insoluble material. Dichloromethane is removed from the filtrate via rotary evaporation, leaving 916.3 milligrams (mg) of caffeine behind, as a white solid. What is the percentage of isolated caffeine with respect to the starting amount of crude coffee beans?

Monique has a pot that contains 7 liters of brine (salt water) at a concentration of 110 g/L. She needs to boil some of the water off to increase the concentration of salt. (a) Construct a model that gives the concentration C(x) of the brine after boiling it. (Let x represent the number of liters of water that is boiled off.)
When butanoic acid (C3H7COOH) reacts with the strong base potassium hydroxide (KOH), potassium butanoate (C3H7COOK), a salt of the weak acid is formed. Write a balanced chemical equation with physical states to show the dissociation of the potassium butanoate (C3H7COOK).
To determine the percentage of bromide in a mixture containing a soluble bromide salt, the procedure from Experiment 10 is used except the bromide is precipitated with aqueous lead (II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2, forming PbBr2(s). Initially, a 0.7893 g sample of an unknown bromide salt is dissolved in water. Excess Pb(NO3)2 is added to the solution to quantitatively precipitate the bromide from the solution. The resulting mixture is filtered through a piece of filter paper weighing 1.3587 g. After several days of drying, the filter paper and precipitate weighed 1.8257 g. Calculate the percent bromide in the original sample. Pb(NO3)2 Mw = 331.2 g/mol PbBr2 Mw = 367.0 g/mol
Dr. Donwonree tried to determine the vitamin C content in apple juice which he bought at CheMarket. He measured out 50.0 mL of the juice and added the HCl, KI, and starch. Then he started the titration by adding KIO3 solution into the juice. The concentration of the KIO3 solution was 0.200 M and it took only 1.50 mL of KIO3 to reach the endpoint. How much vitamin C (mg) is contained in 1.00 L of this apple juice?
Now the student wants to test the decanoate from question 5 for the presence of the remaining cation. She adds 6M HNO3 to the decanoate until it is acidic. What is the color of the precipitate? Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurred. To summarize the student’s results, which of the Group I cations can the student conclude are present in UK #1? * here is question 5 with the answer * Now the student wants to test the precipitate from the G1-2 step (question 3) for the two remaining cations. In the G1-3 step, she adds 6M NH3 to the precipitate, stirs and centrifuges. The clear supernatant is decanted into a new test tube. Which of the chloride salts of the Group I cations dissolves in aqueous NH3? Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction. In the G1-3 step, AgCl dissolves in 6M NH3 since it forms a soluble complex ion with ammonia and HgCl2 in insoluble. AgCl +2NH3 Ag(NH3)+2+Cl-

The student follows the procedure and acetaminophen is prepared. What is the maximum amount of acetaminophen she could obtain from the reaction if the percentage yield is 76%? I
NaHCO3 (aq) + CH3 COOH (aq) —> CO2 (g) + H2O (l) + CH3 COONa (aq) Calculate the molar concentration of 100ml of vinegar (CH3COOH) and 2.5 ml of baking soda (NaHCO3). Note that the concentration of table vinegar is about 1 mol/L and the density of baking soda is 2.2 g/cm3
A bottle of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate was accidentally left uncapped for an afternoon, allowing it to pick up water from the environment. To determine the degree to which the compound was hydrated, a sample was analyzed. The initial weight of the partially hydrated copper(II) sulfate was 9.782. After drying to constant weight, the weight was 7.232. How may waters of hydration are present?
The total cation content of natural water is often determined by exchanging the cations for hydrogen ions on a strong acid ion-exchange resin. A 25.00 mL sample of a natural water was diluted to 100.00 ML with distilled water, and 2.06 g of a cation - exchange resin was added. After stirring, the mixture was filtered and the solid remaining on the filter paper was washed with three 15.00 mL portions of water. The filtrate and washings required 16.30 mL of 0.0282 M NaOH to give a bromocresol green end point. a) Calculate the number of millimoles of cation present in exactly 1.00 L of sample. b ) Report the results in terms of milligrams of CaCO3 per liter. Only typed solution.
Complete and balance the following neutralization reactions. H2CO3(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)→H2CO3(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)→ Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.
Sodium hydrogen carbonate NaHCO3 , also known as sodium bicarbonate or "baking soda", can be used to relieve acid indigestion. Acid indigestion is the burning sensation you get in your stomach when it contains too much hydrochloric acid HCl , which the stomach secretes to help digest food. Drinking a glass of water containing dissolved NaHCO3 neutralizes excess HCl through this reaction: HCl (aq) + NaHCO3 (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)The CO2 gas produced is what makes you burp after drinking the solution. Suppose the fluid in the stomach of a woman suffering from indigestion can be considered to be 150.mL of a 0.053 M HCl solution. What mass of NaHCO3 would she need to ingest to neutralize this much HCl ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
