Treatment of an organic compound with hot, concentrated hydriodic acid(also known as the Zeisel analysis) yields CH3I, indicating the presence of methoxyl group (-OCH3). Unknown organic compound F (one of the opium alkaloids used in antispasmodic medicine whose formula is C19H21NO3) was treated with hot concentrated hydroidic acid to determine the number of methoxyl groups present in the molecule. When 7.12mg of compound F is treated with hydriodic acid and the CH3I thus formed is passed into alcoholic silver nitrate, 10.73mg of silver iodide is obtained. How many methoxyl groups per molecule of compound F would be indicated by the results of this Zeisel analysis?

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…

Assuming that cyclohexanone is the limiting reagent for the synthesis of cyclohexanone oxime and that cyclohexanone oxime is the limiting reagent for the synthesis of caprolactam; what is the overall % yield of caprolactam from cyclohexanone given the percentage yield of each step of the reaction sequence as follows? Give only two significant digits. If the answer is a whole number with two digits, do not include the decimal. 57% 27% cyclohexanone → cyclohexanone oxime → caprolactam Answer:
You are employed as a coop student at the Drug and Alcohol Testing Association of Canada (DATAC) developing analytical tests for sports doping agents. You are asked to prepare a procedure for the extraction of methylphenidate, the active compound in Ritalin, from urine samples (consider them as simple aqueous layers, you do not need to consider other components!). The goal of the procedure is to extract the methylphenidate into an organic layer which will then be evaporated, and the residue will be tested for the drug.Your colleague is helping you develop the urine test. They suggest that the urine should be adjusted to a pH above 7 before extracting with the organic solvent. Why is this necessary? Support your explanation with a full arrow-pushing mechanism for the reaction that would occur if the pH was below 7. Include all formal charges, intermediates (if applicable) and products.
