8. Ethanol is miscible with water. (After all, alcoholic beverages don t separate into an “alcohol‟ layer” and a “water layer.”) Assuming that caffeine is soluble in ethanol, could you use ethanol as a solvent to extract caffeine from coffee (rather than using dichloromethane as the extraction solvent)? Explain why or why not.

Please answer all 5 questions (it could be short answers). 5-1. What is the main barrier to separating liquid mixtures of less than 500 mL by distillation? 5-2. A sample mixture of ethyl benzoate (bp 212 Celsius) and dodecane (bp 216.2 Celsius) is injected on two GC columns. Column A has DC710 silicone oil as the stationary phase, and column B uses polyethylene glycol as the stationary phase. Which substance would be certain to elute first from column A and would the same material be expected to elute first from column B? Which column, A or B, would be expected to give the better separation of these two substances? 5-3. Question 5-2 refers to separating a mixture of two high boiling liquids by gas chromatography. These materials have similar boiling points. List several GC variables and conditions that would make it easier to separate thesesubstances by gas chromatography 5-4. Capillary GC columns have better resolution than packed columns even though the enormous surface area…
Which statement about liquid-liquid extraction is not correct? * A- A solvent must be available that is miscible with the solution containing the substance to be extracted. B- The solvent used for extraction must have a good ability to dissolve the desired substance. C- The denser solution forms the bottom layer in the extraction funnel. D- The extraction funnel must be vented during the extraction procedure to prevent excessive build-up of pressure inside the extraction funnel. E- All these statements are correct.
5.0 mL of 1-butanol was mixed with 10 mL of HCl. The reaction was put on an ice bath and 4 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid was added. This mixture was refluxed for 45 min and then the product was co-distilled with water using a simple distillation apparatus. Water and the product are immiscible. 1-butanol has a molar mass of 74.12 g/mol, a density of 0.810 g/mL, and a boiling point of 118 C. The product has a molar mass of 92.57 g/mol, a density of 0.880 g/mL, and a boiling point of 78 C. What is the nucleophile in this reaction? What is the role of H2SO4 in this reaction? Calculate the theoretical yield for this reaction. Give your answer in grams. Select the following statements that can be said about the reaction shown.

When isolating the solid after recrystallization using vacuum filtration what solvent should you use to aid in the rinse from the Erlenmeyer flask to the vacuum filter funnel? (Only pick one answer) Group of answer choices: Cold ethyl acetate Cold ethanol Hot ethyl acetate Hot ethanol Hot water Cold water None of the above, it should not be risned
10g coffee 4g sodium carbonate 40m dichloromethane 160ml distilled water coffee filter What are the principles behind caffeine being extracted from coffee using the above items? 1st sodium carbonate mixed with coffee then brought to a boil for 20min then solution/grinds are filtered. Then solution is added to a separatory funnel with 15ml of dichloromethane and two layers are observed so the bottom layer with DCM contains the caffeine, then this layer is collected in a beaker and dried out using molecular seeds. Then the solvent is brought to a boil with crude caffeine remaining and recystallized using 95% ethanol and brought to a boil again. Then the contents are vaccum filtered and allowed to dry resulting in 30mg caffeine.
