Respuesta :

Answer:

1) Place the tea leaves in a 125-ml Erlenmeyer flask.

2)Add 20 ml dichloromethane and 10 ml 0.2 M NaOH.

3) Seal the flask and gently swirl it for 5-10 minutes to allow the solvent mixture to penetrate the leaves.

Caffeine dissolves in the solvent, while most of the other compounds in the leaves do not.
