Caffeine is more soluble in dichloromethane and the both are separated by evaporating the solvent.
Caffeine is an organic plant material which is more soluble in non-polar solvents than in polar solvents. As such, caffeine is more soluble in dichloromethane than in pure water.
In order to carry out a liquid-liquid exaction of dichloromethane from a commercial teabag, the dichloromethane is mixed with water. The caffeine is found to be more soluble in the organic dichloromethane layer than in water.
The two solvents can now be separated using a separating funnel and the solution is evaporated to obtain the caffeine.

I think that it would be 12
Answer:
CH2O
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to convert the masses of the elements to percentage compositions. This can be done by placing the mass of each element over the total mass multiplied by 100% . We can start with carbon.
C = 5.692/14.229 * 100 = 40%
O = 7.582/14.229 * 100 = 53.29%
H = 0.955/14.229 * 100 = 6.71%
We then proceed to divide each percentage composition by their atomic mass of 12, 16 and 1 respectively.
C = 40/12 = 3.333
O = 53.29/16 = 3.33
H = 6.71/2 = 6.71
Dividing by the smaller value which is 3.33
C = 3.33/3.33 = 1
O = 3.33/3.33= 1
H = 6.71/3.33 = 2
The empirical formula of the compound ribose is CH2O
The scientific process has to adapt to what the experiment is.
All acids contain OH in their formula
