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.
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?
Does dichloromethane layer lie in water layer?
No, because it is already all around and undere water. BY:Fairy S
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
Dipole moment of dichloromethane is high or trichloromethane?
dichloromethane

Which of these solutes settle at the bottom when mixed with water?

dichloromethane
Why does water go straight to bottom when mixed with oil?
Water is heavier than oil. Oil floats on water.
Where does the largest temperature change occur in the mixed layer and why?
At the bottom of the mixed layer, because this is where the mixed layer is seperated from the calm deep water below it.
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
2 things that don't dissolve in water?
benzene, toluene, chloroform, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate
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.
