The sample is prepared by placing a single analgesic tablet in a small beaker and adding 10 mL of methanol. After allowing the sample to dissolve, the contents of the beaker, including the insoluble binder, are quantitatively transferred to a 25-mL volumetric flask and diluted to volume with methanol. The sample is then filtered, and a 1.00-mL aliquot transferred to a 10-mL volumetric flask and diluted to volume with methanol. When analyzed by HPLC, the signal for caffeine is found to be 21 469. Report the milligrams of caffeine in the analgesic tablet.
