Solution
To find the concentration of aspirin in the undiluted stock solution, we need to use the dilution formula:
C1V1 = C2V2
where: C1 = concentration of the stock solution (which we are trying to find) V1 = volume of the stock solution (which is 1 ml or 0.001 L, as per the procedure) C2 = concentration of the diluted solution (which is 6.83 x 10^-4 mol/L) V2 = volume of the diluted solution (which is 40 ml or 0.04 L, as per the procedure)
Rearranging the formula to find C1, we get:
C1 = C2V2 / V1
Substituting the given values:
C1 = (6.83 x 10^-4 mol/L * 0.04 L) / 0.001 L
Solving this, we get:
C1 = 0.02732 mol/L
So, the concentration of aspirin in the undiluted stock solution is 0.02732 mol/L.

To extract caffeine, a No Doz® tablet (10 g each) was crushed and added to 100 mL of distilled water and boiled for ten minutes. Suspended solids were removed, and the supernatant was transferred to a separatory funnel. Next, 100 mL of dichloromethane (DCM, density = 1.33 g/cm³) was added to the separatory funnel, and the mixture was shaken, which resulted in the formation of two layers. Each layer was separately collected, and the aqueous layer was poured back into the separatory funnel for the extraction to be repeated. One hundred mL of DCM was added to the separatory funnel, and a second extraction was performed. After the second extraction, the layers containing caffeine from both extractions were mixed together. The resulting solution was boiled gently until a white solid formed. To determine how much caffeine was expected to dissolve in each layer and how much caffeine was extracted in total, the following formulae were used to determine the partition coefficient (Ψ) of caffeine:Ψc = [Solute] in organic layer / [Solute] in aqueous layerEquation 1 Calculation of Ψ for an extractionΨa = Ï in organic layer / Ï in aqueous layerEquation 2 Approximation of Ψ for an extractionAfter completing the extraction, recrystallization was performed. Ethanol was added to the white solid, and the solution was gently warmed and allowed to cool down to 25°C. The solution was then placed on ice until crystals formed. The crystals were vacuum filtered and tested for purity via melting point determination, IR spectroscopy, and TLC plating. In the TLC procedure, DCM was used as the solvent system, and three spots were placed on the TLC plate: crude extract, recrystallized caffeine, and a pure caffeine sample.(Note: Ϊ is the solubility of a solute in a given solvent.)Question 36Which of the following is NOT a functional group present in caffeine?

A standard containing ascorbic acid (25.0 mg mL-1) was analysed using reversed-phase HPLC with UV detection at 250 nm, giving a peak area of 34210. A sample containing ascorbic acid was then analysed under the same conditions, giving a peak area of 31622. Determine the concentration of ascorbic acid in the sample (in mg mL-1).
