Procedure First, five standard solutions were made using 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-, and 50-mg/L of caffeine. The 10-mL solution was created by mixing 10-mL caffeine standard and 10.0-mL 0.10M HCl and diluting to 100.0-mL. This same procedure was used to make the rest of the solutions. Then 6.0-mL of soda, with the carbon dioxide removed, was placed in a 100-mL volumetric flask along with 10.0-mL 0.10m HCl and diluted. Then, the UV absorbance of the five standards was taken. Water was used in the reference cuvet. The wavelength of the peak absorbance for caffeine was also taken. The spectroscopy machine automatically corrected the absorbance values against the baseline of the water reference. The results were graphed to create an absorbance versus molar concentration calibration curve. Finally, the UV absorption of the soda sample was measured and compared to the caffeine standard calibration curve. This was used to calculate the concentration of caffeine.

Molarity was found by
Molarity of stock solution=(0.200g/L)/(182.18g/mol)=0.00011M
Molarity of Standard 1=(〖(M〗_1 V_1))/V_2 (0.0011M*10mL)/100mL=0.00011M
The second standard was 0.00022M with an absorbance of 0.517. The third standard was 0.00033M with an absorbance of 0.547. The fourth standard was 0.00044M with an absorbance of 0.561. The fifth standard was 0.00055M with an absorbance of 0.578. This data gave the following calibration curve: To obtain the concentration of caffeine in the soda sample, the absorbance measured was plugged in as y to
Introduction Metabolism is the sum of all anabolic and catabolic reactions within a living organism to sustain life. The energy required to perform these reactions is provided by oxygen in the form of ATP, therefore the oxygen consumption rate can be measured to determine the metabolic rate. Since oxygen is obtained through respiration, the efficiency of an organism’s respiratory system affects its metabolism. Previous studies have shown that caffeine affects the human respiratory center and occasionally dilates bronchus. It can thus stimulate human respiration and increase the metabolic rate (Haggins et al, 1915).
General Purpose: To inform Specific purpose: To inform the audience on the effects caffeine has on the body Format: Topical Format: Positive and negative effects I. Introduction to caffeine: What is caffeine? - Caffeine is a natural stimulant most commonly found in tea, coffee and cacao plants.” B. Where else is caffeine mostly found?
In the round-bottom flask (100 mL), we placed p-aminobenzoic acid (1.2 g) and ethanol (12 mL). We swirled the mixture until the solid dissolved completely. We used Pasteur pipet to add concentrated sulfuric acid (1.0 mL) to the flask. We added boiling stone and assembled the reflux. Then, we did reflux for 75 minutes.
Each day there were three games. Randomly the players took a powdered caffeine energy drink dissolved in 250mL of tap water to get 3 mg/kg of caffeine per kg, or the same drink with no caffeine content. Eight players with caffeine and eight players with placebo for each competition day. The placebo drink and energy drink looked identical and had similar taste. The beverages were in opaque plastic bottles, consumed one hour before the game.
Leah Romero 10/30/2017 Conclusion Lab 3 Chem 102L In lab 3, fundamentals of chromatography, the purpose was to examine how components of mixtures can be separated by taking advantage of different in physical properties. A huge process in this lab was paper chromatography, which was used to isolate food dyes that are found in different drink mixes. The different chromatograms of FD&C dyes were compared to identify which dyes are present in each of the mixes.
Dr.Pepper is a better soda brand than Coca Cola, because it has less caffeine and better flavors than Coke. Some people agree that Dr.Pepper has more sugar and doesn’t taste nothing like Coke. While others disagree that Coca Cola is a better Beverage. Because if you drank Dr.Pepper you can easily taste a bit of cherry in your mouth having your mouth smell like cherries. According to Debate.org an Investigator RacH3ll3 had mention that Dr.Pepper is a better drink stated,” Dr. Pepper taste better also it has less acid than coca cola.
Bottling Company Case Study As a manager at a major bottling company, customers have complained that the bottles of the brand of soda produced in the company contain less than the advertised sixteen (16) ounces of product. There is need to solve the problem at hand and has to be investigated. Employees are instructed to pull thirty (30) bottles off the line at random from all the shifts at the bottling plant and measure the amount of soda there is in each bottle.
The crude caffeine was transferred to Petri dish. Petri dish was placed on a hot plate and covered with three disks of filter paper. Another petri dish filled with ice was placed just on the top of petri dish covered with filter papers. The heat was turned on and sublimation was performed for 5 minutes. The purified caffeine was scraped from the filter papers and its weigh was measured.
The results of the phenol-sulfuric acid analysis conducted in this experiment suggest that the data acquired was relatively precise but inaccurate with respect to the given carbohydrate concentrations of the soda and Gatorade samples. Using a standard curve generated from a glucose solution with a known concentration, the carbohydrate concentration of the samples was determined (in terms of glucose) and a low coefficient of variation was calculated. However, a high percent relative error was apparent in the analysis of both samples. This may have been due to the fact that the analysis was conducted assuming glucose was the carbohydrate of interest, while, in fact, a significant portion of the monosaccharides would have existed as fructose (a
Caffeine is a chemical found naturally in few plants all over the world. From these plants it is processed into its pure form and then put into other things such as soda, energy drinks, tea, and pills. Energy drinks and soda are some of the most widely marketed products in the world, even though they contain the highest concentration of caffeine outside of pure caffeine supplements. It is a stimulant that affects everyone in strange but semi predictable ways. Research has been done on this topic since the 1920’s and many different conclusions have been reached.
Caffeine has become a nationally used form of a pharmacologically active substance (PAS) (Pray et al., 1). PAS is defined by the World Health Organization as “any substance or combination of substances used as a pharmaceutical product” intended to alter the physiologically activity in the human body (“Definition of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients”). Due to the effects that caffeine has on the body, it is classified as a type of medical drug. However, caffeine may not be a healthy coping mechanism for individuals.
Purpose/Introduction The process of recrystallization is an important method of purifying a solid organic substance using a hot solution as a solvent. This method will allow the separation of impurities. We will analyze Benzoic Acid as it is dissolved and recrystallized in water and in a solvent of Methanol and water. Reaction/Summary
With the constantly increasing paces of everyday life the search for an energy source, capable of boosting the human body to new limits by extending its endurance, continues. In the recent years a specific product, called an energy drink, has received much publicity worldwide. The energy drink is a highly caffeinated stimulant that is able to rise the performance of the human body. Many people consider it as a refreshment after a hard day’s work. What’s more one of the most frequently used cases of energy drinks is in combination with alcohol during parties.

Abstract The unknown concentration of benzoic acid used when titrated with standardized 0.1031M NaOH and the solubility was calculated at two different temperatures (20◦C and 30◦C). With the aid of the Van’t Hoff equation, the enthalpy of solution of benzoic acid at those temperatures was determined as 10.82 KJ. This compares well with the value of 10.27KJ found in the literature.
