A solution was prepared with 1.6331 g of a solid dissolved in 50.0 mL water. The sample was placed in a 2.00 dm sample tube, and the observed rotation was found to be +3.45 degrees. The temperature at the time of measurement was 20.5 °C. Calculate the value of the specific rotation, and report it in the format shown above with the correct number of significant digits, and the proper units.

Partition coefficients (Kow = organic solvent concentration/aqueous concentration, usually reported as log Kow) are important for determining how efficiently organic compounds can be extracted from aqueous solutions. For example, consider the two substances below. Which will be more soluble in water? Hexamethylbenzene (log Kow = 6.41) O Diethyl ether (log Kow = 0.83)
2) Assume you are decaffeinating your coffee by extracting the caffeine out with dichloromethane. Your particular brand of coffee contains 100 mg of caffeine in a 200 mL cup of water. The partition coefficient of caffeine in dichloromethane/water is 8.0 (it is more soluble in the dichloromethane).Answer the following questions about how much caffeine would still be in the 200 mL of water based on two different approaches. You should solve this algebraically. If you use an equation found on the internet, you will need to show how it was derived to receive credit.a) How much caffeine would remain in the water after extracting once with 200 mL of dichloromethane? Show your work.b) How much caffeine would remain in the water after extracting twice, each time with 100 mL of dichloromethane? Show your work.
A capillary viscometer was used to measure the viscosity of a fluid at room temperature. At a pressure drop per unit length of 0.28 mmHg cm−1, i.e., ΔP/L, the measured flow rate of the fluid through the capillary viscometer was found to be 0.0125 cm3 s−1. When the value of ΔP/L was increased to 0.79 mmHg cm−1, the flow rate of the fluid was found to be .047 cm3 s−1. Under these conditions, is the fluid Newtonian or non-Newtonian? Be sure to justify your answer.
