Question

Subject-advance maths

Please explain in detail how to solve this question. It is the theory of an extraction experiment in the organic chemistry lab.
Consider a 0.028 L aqueous solution that contains 0.5900 g of caffeine. The solubility of
caffeine in water is 2.2 g/100 mL and the solubility in methylene chloride is 10.2 g/100 mL.
a) How much caffeine can be extracted with 15 mL of methylene chloride?
0.42 g
b) Separately from part a, how much caffeine will be extracted if the aqueous solution is
extracted three times with 5 mL of methylene chloride?
c) Which is more effective a or b?
