(1oz = 29.6 mL)

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

First calculate the amount of caffeine (in mol):

58.9 x 10^-3 g Caffeine / 194.19 g/mol caffeine =

3.033 x 10^-4 mol caffeine

This is in 12 oz, need to convert to L.

12oz * 29.6mL/oz *(0.001L/mL) = 0.3552L

Concentration = mol/vol

Conc = 3.033 x 10^-4 / 0.3552L

Conc = 8.54 x 10^-4 M

The caffeine concentration is 8.54 x 10^-4 M

Hope this helps
