Answer #1

Q1)

Answer-

Caffeine is soluble in water due to its polar region on the caffeine. It is a fact that "like dissolves like", since caffeine has polar region and water is also polar.

Also the intermolecular attractions brtween the solute and solvent is greater than the attraction between solute and molecules. The H+ in the water molecules can bind to the lone pairs on an N or O atom on a caffeine molecule to form hydrogen bond which is stronger than london dispersion bond.

    If each bag of Lipton black tea contains 55 mg of caffeine, what is the maximum amount of caffeine that you could extract from one using our procedure? Assume one bag and 40mL of tea-water at the end of initial solid-liquid extraction. The partition coefficient (K) for caffeine in methylene chloride is 7.2. How much caffeine could be extracted using our procedure if we had used ethyl acetate (K = 2.0) instead of methylene chloride? Explain why the amount does...

    Okay, so we had solid benzoic acid, ethyl 4- aminobenzoate, and 9-fluorenone all dissolved in diethyl ether (4ml). We separated the basic component by adding 3M HCl, we separated the acidic component by adding 3M NaOH. I don't understand what happens here. To isolate the acidic solution, we added 6 M NaOH and used the vacuum to recover the solid. To isolate the basic solution we added 6M HCl. Here are the questions I am having trouble with... • Why...

    Introduction: The technique used to separate an organic compound from a mixture of compounds is called Extraction. Extraction process selectively dissolves one or more of the mixture compounds into a suitable solvent. The solution of these dissolved compounds is referred to as the Extract. Here the organic solvent dichloromethane is used to extract caffeine from an aqueous extract of tea leaves because caffeine is more soluble in dichloromethane (140 mg/ml) than it is in water (22 mg/ml). However, there are...

    Exercise 2 Separation of a Mixture Based on Acid-Base Properties One purpose of this exercise is to learn how to use a separatory funnel to extract a single component away from other compounds in solution. To do so, we will apply the principles of solubility and acid-base behavior you’re seeing in class. One of the compounds is neutral in the acid-base sense. It has no ability to either donate or accept a proton from an aqueous solution, and will remain...
