Complete Question
A student is extracting caffeine from water with dichloromethane. The K value is 4.6. If the student starts with a total of 40 mg of caffeine in 2 mL of water and extracts once with 6 mL of dichloromethane
The experiment above is repeated, but instead of extracting once with 6 mL the extraction is done three times with 2 mL of dichloromethane each time. How much caffeine will be in each dichloromethane extract?
Answer:
The mass of caffeine extracted is
Explanation:
From the question above we are told that
The K value is
The mass of the caffeine is
The volume of water is
The volume of caffeine is
The number of times the extraction was done is n = 3
Generally the mass of caffeine that will be extracted is
