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?

Suppose that a volume of 5.0 cm³ of acetic anhydride (density = 1.08 g·cm⁻³, molar mass = 102.087 g·mol⁻¹) is hydrolysed completely and the resulting solution is made up to 100.0 cm³ in a volumetric flask. Calculate the volume in cm³ of 0.496 mol·dm⁻³ sodium hydroxide required to titrate a 10.0 cm³ sample of this solution. [Round the answer to two decimal places. Do not type in the unit. Use a decimal point.] *
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?
On the first phase, which is prepared by dissolving some bromine (Br2) in 10 mL of carbon sulfur at constant pressure and 25 ° C, 20 mL of water is added at the same temperature. After waiting for the well-shaken mixture to come to equilibrium, the carbon sulfur and water phases are completely separated and the bromine amounts are determined. It has been experimentally determined that there is 1.29 g of bromine in the carbon sulfur phase and 0.0064 g of bromine in the water phase. a) Partition coefficient of bromine between carbon sulfur and water phases b) If 2.2 g of bromine were dissolved in carbon sulfide initially at the same pressure and temperature, the mass of bromine passing into the water phase (MBr: 79,904 g/mol)
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.
