Cocaine (C17H2O4N) arrives in the USA either as the pure compound or as the hydrochloride salt  (C17H2104NHCL) at 25°C the salt is very soluble in water (2.50kg/L) but pure cocaine is much less so(1.70g/L) a. When a 25 mL aqueous solution that contains 62.50 g of the salt is treated with NaOH the salt is converted to pure cocaine. How much water in litres is needed additionally to dissolve the formed pure cocaine  C17H21O4NHCL + NaOH = C17H2104N + H20 + NaCL
