Answer to Question #168269 in General Chemistry for pab

Question

Theobromine is a bitter alkaloid of cacao plant. It is found in chocolate, leaves of tea plant and cola nut. How many grams of theobromine (C7H8N4O2) should be dissolved in 375g water to make 3.75 m theobromine solution?

Answer 1

Solution:

C₇H₈N₄O₂ = 180.164 $(\frac{g}{mole})$

(3.75 $\frac{mole}{kg}$ )*(0.375 kg)*(180.164 $(\frac{g}{mole})$ ) = 253 g of C₇H₈N₄O₂
