4. At 25 °C, 1.0 g of caffeine will dissolve in 47 mL of water, in 8.1 mL of chloroform, in 86 mL of benzene, or in 370 mL of diethyl ether. Calculate the solubility (in grams/100 mL) of caffeine in these four solvents. Calculate the partition coefficient of caffeine between water and each of the other three solvents. Which of these three organic solvents would be the best choice for extracting caffeine from an aqueous solution?

The literature value of the Ksp for calcium iodate is 6.47 × 10–6 at 25 °C. Use the following equation to calculate the percent error in your determination of the solubility product for calcium iodate. Note: Do not be alarmed if your average deviation is very large. This is not uncommon in Ksp experiments, even under the most careful conditions. Percent error = (|experimental value - literature value|)/ (literature value) X 100%
