Mountain Dew® contains caffeine, C8H10N4O2, at a concentration of 0.7838 mM and has a density of 0.998 g/cm3. (a) What is the concentration of caffeine in units of % by volume (w/v)? (b) What is the concentration of caffeine in units of % by mass (w/w)? (c) Compare you answers from (a) and (b). You should not be surprised if they are similar because % by mass and % by volume are the same if the density of the solution were exactly 1 g/cm3.
