Chapter 18.4, Problem 18.6P

Decaffeinated coffee is produced by extracting the caffeine from coffee with a solvent. Initially dichloromethane ( CH 2 Cl 2 ) was used, but concerns arose over the ill health effects of trace amounts of CH 2 Cl 2 remaining in the coffee. Why is caffeine soluble in CH 2 Cl 2 ?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
1. Write balanced chemical equations for the dissolution of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and sodium acetate (NaCH3COO) in water.
Ethanol is miscible with water. Assuming that caffeine is soluble in ethanol, could you use ethanol as a solvent to extract caffeine from coffee, rather than using dichloromethane as the extraction solvent?  Explain.
Why cannot oils and water-soluble products be mixed and heated together? Why should heating be at approximately 70 to 75 deg. C.?
