You have a solution of 600 mg of caffeine dissolved in 100 mL of water. The partition coefficient for aqueous caffeine extracted

with dichloromethane (DCM, CH2Cl2) is 4.6. Show all calculations for the following (the equation is in your lecture notes): a.How many mgs caffeine would be extracted from the 100 mL of water containing 600 mg of caffeine with one portion of 60 mL of dichloromethane

Answer:

159 mg caffeine is being extracted in 60 mL dichloromethane

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of caffeine in 100 mL of water =  600 mg

Volume of the water = 100 mL

Partition co-efficient (K) = 4.6

mass of caffeine extracted = ??? (unknown)

The portion of the DCM = 60 mL

Partial co-efficient (K) = \frac{C_1}{C_2}

where; C_1= solubility of compound in the organic solvent and C_2 = solubility in aqueous water.

So; we can represent our data as:

K=(\frac{A_{(g)}}{60mL} ) ÷ (\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL} )

Since one part of the portion is A and the other part is B

A+B = 60 mL

A+B = 0.60

A= 0.60 - B

4.6=(\frac{0.6-B(mg)}{60mL} ) ÷ (\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL})

4.6 = \frac{(\frac{0.6-B(mg)}{60mL} )}{(\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL})}

4.6 × (\frac{B_{(mg)}}{100mL}) = (\frac{0.6-B(mg)}{60mL} )

4.6 B *\frac{60}{100} = 0.6 - B

2.76 B = 0.6 - B

2.76 + B = 0.6

3.76 B = 0.6

B = \frac{0.6}{3.76}

B = 0.159 g

B = 159 mg

∴ 159 mg caffeine is being extracted from the 100 mL of water containing 600 mg of caffeine with one portion of in 60 mL dichloromethane.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

d=1.33x10^{-4}kg/L

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the required density by knowing it is calculated by dividing mass over volume:

d=m/V

Therefore, we plug in the given kilograms and liters to obtain:

d=\frac{0.002kg}{15.00L}\\\\d=1.33x10^{-4}kg/L

Which shows the proper scientific notation.

Regards!
