Question

QUESTIONS: 1) Based on what happened in this experiment, is caffeine more soluble in water, OR more soluble in dichloromethane? Explain your reasoning. 2) Methanol is miscible with water. Assuming that caffeine is soluble in methanol, could you use methanol as a solvent to extract caffeine from tea (rather than using dichloromethane as the extraction solvent)? Explain why or why not. 3) Go through the procedure thoroughly and list all the places where you definitely lost caffeine.
