You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.You find that methylphenidate is highly soluble in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, a bio-renewable solvent. Draw the structure of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran and give two reasons why it is a good solvent choice for liquid-liquid extraction.

The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.Your colleague is helping you develop the urine test. They suggest that the urine should be adjusted to a pH above 7 before extracting with the organic solvent. Why is this necessary? Support your explanation with a full arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction that would occur if the pH was below 7. Include all formal charges, intermediates (if applicable) and products.
(1a) Pure benzophenane freezes at 66.6 °C. A solution of 7.75 g of biphenyl (C12H10; molar mass = 154.2g/mol) plus 200.08 g of benzophenane froze at 59.9 °C. Calculate the Kf of benzophenane in °C*kg/mol. (b) An unknown solution with possible cations (Ag+, Hg22+, Pb2+) is treated with 6M HCl and a white precipitate forms. Hot water is added to the precipitate, and a white solid remains after filtration. The white solid is treated with aqueous NH3, and the precipitate turns grey or black. The resulting solution is treated with HNO3 and no precipitate forms. What cations can you determine to be present, absent or maybe present? Explain your reason

To determine the soil distribution coefficient (Kd), 10 g of dry soil is spiked with 100 mg of ring-labeled 14C-atrazine, 10 mL of deionized water is added, and the system is shaken for 24 hours. The aqueous and solid phases are separated, and the solid phase is extracted with 50 mL of methylene chloride while the aqueous phase is extracted with three successive 5 mL portions of methylene chloride. The atrazine concentration in the 50 mL of soil extract is 10 mg/L, and the concentration in the combined 15 mL from the aqueous extractions is 0.4 mg/L. Based on this information, calculate Kd.
