In this experiment, 0.170g of caffeine is dissolved in 10.0mL of water. The caffeine is extracted from the aqueous solution three times with 5.0-mL portions of methylene chloride. Calculate the total amount of caffeine that can be extracted into three portions of methylene chloride. Caffeine has a distribution coefficient of 4.6 between methylene chloride and water.

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
