• Procedure
 Use a 10 mL volumetric pipet to add 10.00 mL of soft
drink to 10.00 mL of deionized water.
 Mix thoroughly and half fill a HPLC vial with your
sample. Label the vial with your name and the name of
the soft drink.

• Analysis of Results
 Use the four caffeine standards to prepare a
calibration curve (graph) that plots peak area vs.
concentration.
 Draw a “best fit” straight line on your graph.
 Use your calibration curve to determine the
concentration of caffeine in the sample you prepared.
 Use the concentration of caffeine in your sample,
along with the dilution equation, to determine the
concentration of caffeine in the soft drink you used.

• Calculations
Remember, the original soft drink was diluted to prepare your HPLC
sample. The concentration (M) of caffeine in the original soft drink can be
calculated by using the dilution equation:

M1V1 = M2V2

M1V1
M2 =
V2

The concentration (mg caffeine / 500 mL soda) of caffeine in a full can of


your soft drink can be determine using the following equation:

M2 x 194.2 g caffeine x 1000 mg x 0.500 L = mg caffeine


mol caffeine g in bottle
