A sample of caffeine (306.4 mg) was dissolved in 200 mL water, and 2 mL of this solution was diluted to 100 mL with the same solvent. A further dilution was performed by diluting 10 mL of this solution to 50 mL, again with water. The absorbance of this solution at 273 nm was found to be 0.313 in a 1 cm cell. Calculate the percentage purity of the sample, given that the specific absorbance of caffeine at 273 nm in water is 515.  (5 marks)
