Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The amount of caffeine present in each layer after mixing it with methylene chloride and water needs to be determined in which it has distribution coefficient of 4.6 and 52 mg of caffeine are added to 2 mL of water and 2 mL of methylene chloride.
Concept Introduction:
A polar covalent molecule will be soluble in water whereas a non-polar covalent compound will be insoluble in water based on the concept of "Like dissolves like". Some of the polar compounds also not soluble in water as they cannot form hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
The distribution coefficient can be defined as the ratio of the amount of the substance dissolve in one solvent to the amount of substance in the other solvent.
Answer to Problem 1Q
The mass of caffeine in water and methylene chloride is 0.0427 g and 0.0093 g respectively.
Explanation of Solution
Distribution coefficientof caffeine = 4.6
Amount of caffeine = 52 mg = 0.052 g
Volume of water = 2 mL = 0.002 L
Volume of methylene chloride = 2 mL = 0.002 L
Let's assume the amount of caffeine in methylene chloride = x
Thus,
Thus,
Thus, the mass of caffeine in water and methylene chloride is 0.0427 g and 0.0093 g respectively.

- of a 0.9% solution of sodium chloride (NaCI), we would weigh 0.9 g of NaCl (solute) and dissolve it in some distilled wate (solvent). When the salt is totally dissolved, enough distilled water is added to make a final volume of 100 mL. When measuring solutions in a cylinder, pipette, or volumetric flask, be sure to hold the calibrated glassware at eye level to read the bottom line of the curved surface of the liquid (the meniscus). Volumetric glassware should be used fo solution preparation; calibrated Erlenmeyer flasks or beakers too inaccurate. The size of calibrated glassware chosen shoul equal to or just slightly larger than the volume desired so tha error of measurement will be minimal.
