Tom, an analytical chemist, bought a bag of decaffeinated coffee from a grocery store. However,Tom suspected that he might have received regular coffee and therefore decided to analyze hiscoffee for caffeine. In the lab, he took 0.5 mL of the brewed coffee and diluted it in water tomake a 100.0 mL solution. He performed four analyses and found the concentrations to be 4.69,3.99, 4.12, and 4.50 mg/L, respectively. (Assume the density of all solutions is 1.000 g/mL,1oz= 28.35 mL).(a) Report the concentration (in mg/L) of caffeine in the brewed coffee using the format asaverage ± standard deviation. (Note this is not the concentration in the diluted solution.)(b) Look up the caffeine content of regular vs. decaffeinated coffee. Do you think that Tom wasgiven the wrong type of coffee?(c) Caffeine intake of 300 mg per day reportedly has no adverse effects in the vast majority ofthe adult population. If Tom drinks 3 cups (8 oz/cup) of this coffee daily, is his intake withinthis known safe…
Consider a mixture of the following three compounds: benzil, biphenyl, and terephthalic acid. Sketch a TLC plate with a spot of a 1:1:1 mixture of the three components, and show how they would separate. You do not need to list actual RF values, instead draw spots in order of which goes furthest, second furthest, and least far up the plate. Label each with the identity of the compound. Consider the intermolecular forces each compound could have with the silica plate to decide the order in which they elute. он HO. Benzil Terephthalic acid Biphenyl
