Alex and Carisma need to extract caffeine from 100ml of water at
standard condition
using dichloromethane (DCM) in two extraction steps. 50ml of DCM is
used for the first extraction, while 80ml is used for the second to
ensure the adequate removal of caffeine. The solubility of caffeine
in DCM is 0.5g/ml, and its solubility in water is 0.2g/ml.
Calculate the percentage extraction after the second extractive
process.
