5. Answer the following questions for the described experiment: Experiment You need to separate a mixture of caffeine and benzoic acid. The sample has an initial weight of 2.0 g and a content of 25% caffeine. You use dichloromethane, 1.0M NaOH solution, and 3.OM HCI. You are able to isolate 0.5 g caffeine and 1.1 g benzoic acid. Complete the following calculations and show your work. 1. Calculate the amounts of caffeine and benzoic acid in the initial sample. 2. Calculate the percent recovery for each of the compounds. 3. If the percent recovery is less than 100%, comment on possible causes (please do not use the terms experimental error, be specific) 4. If the percent recovery is more than 100%, comment on possible causes (please do not use the terms experimental error, be specific) 5. How much 1.0M NaOH solution would be needed to neutralize all benzoic acid? 6. How much drying agent, MgSo, would be needed for drying of 20mL dichloromethane solution that contains 0.02% water, knowing that each mole of MgSO, can absorb 7 moles of H20
