When dichloromethane is mixed with water will the organic phase be in the upper level or lower level?
Dichloromethane (methylene chloride) has a higher density than water. It will settle to the bottom of a dichloromethane:water mixture. Is this what you are asking?
Why did the caffeine leave the water and move into the dichloromethane?
Dichloromethane is a water-immiscible solvent that works well, because caffeine is highly soluble in it
Explain briefly how you would separate chloroform or dichloromethane extract from an aqueous solution using a separating funnel?
Both chloroform and dichloroform are denser than water. You will see two layer in separating funnel. The lower layer will be chloroform and upper layer would be aqueous layer.
Dipole moment of dichloromethane is high or trichloromethane?
dichloromethane
What liquid is more volatile between ethanol methanol acetone dichloromethane and water?
Ethanol boiling point: 78.37 °C Methanol Boiling point: 64.7 °C Acetone Boiling point: 56 to 57 °C dichloromethane Boiling Point: 39.8-40.0°C Water Boiling Point: 100°C dichloromethane more volatile than the others

Which of the two layers that are formed during the extraction is dichloromethane?
aqueous layer

What purpose does a 1 cm layer of anhydrous sodium sulfate in the apex of the funnel serve while transferring the dichloromethane extract into the round bottom flask.?
Anhydrous sodium sulfate is used as a drying agent to remove microscopic amounts of dissolved water in a solvent. It works by chemically reacting with the water by forming its hydrate, which is insoluble preferably in the solvent in this case dichloromethane. This allows one to filter off the crystals containing the water that would otherwise have remained dissolved in the dcm.

Is DCM lighter than water?
No. Dichloromethane is far denser than water will be the bottom of the two layers when the two are mixed.
2 things that don't dissolve in water?
benzene, toluene, chloroform, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate
What is the density of dichloromethane in grams per centimeter cubed?
The density of dichloromethane is 1,33 g/cm3.
