Problem 139

Cocaine $\left(\mathrm{C}_{17} \mathrm{H}_{21} \mathrm{O}_{4} \mathrm{N}\right)$ is a natural substance found in coca leaves, which have been used for centuries as a local anesthetic
and stimulant. Illegal cocaine arrives in the United States either as the pure compound or as the hydrochloride salt $\left(\mathrm{C}_{17} \mathrm{H}_{21} \mathrm{O}_{4} \mathrm{NHCl}\right)$
At $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ the salt is very soluble in water $(2.50 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{L}),$ but cocaine is much less so $(1.70 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{L})$
(a) What is the maximum mass $(\text { g) of the salt that can dissolve in }$ 50.0 $\mathrm{mL}$ of water?
(b) If this solution is treated with NaOH, the salt is converted to cocaine. How much more water (L) is needed to dissolve it?
