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.

- A student dissolves a Jefferson nickel to make 100.00 mL of solution in a volumetric flask. The student takes a 5.00 mL aliquot of the first solution and dilutes it to make 100.00 mL of a second solution. The student places a sample of the second solution in a cuvette for analysis using spectrophotometry. The molarity of the copper solution in the cuvette was determined by spectrophotometric analysis to be 2.90×10−2 M Cu.

- A mixture of cyclohexane (b.p 81 °C) and toluene (b.p 110.8 °C) need to be separated and collected without jeopadizing the purity of each component. What is the best method to isolate and collect each component? A. gas chromatography, because they can be separated and collected easily due to their boiling points differences. B. simple distillation, because their boiling points are differerent from each other by approximately 30 °C C.fractional distillation, because their boiling points are close to one another D.TLC, because these two compounds can be separated easily using an organic solvent such as hexanesarrow_forwardExtemporaneous Compounding1.

- Some bottles of colorless liquids were being labeled when the technicians accidentally mixed them up and lost track of their contents. A 15.0-mL sample withdrawn from one bottle weighed 22.3 g. The technicians knew that the liquid was either acetone, benzene, chloroform, or carbon tetrachloride (which have densities of 0.792 g/cm3, 0.899 g/cm3, 1.489 g/cm3, and 1.595 g/cm3, respectively).
