Because you are providing a greater surface area of contact between the aqueous layer and organic layer
Using two 30 mL portions of chloroform for extraction of tea leaves containing 1.0 g of caffeine would be more efficient than a single-step reaction due to increased contact with the solvent. The repeated extraction increases the surface area for caffeine to transfer into the solvent, resulting in higher extraction efficiency. This method helps to maximize the extraction of caffeine from the tea leaves.
Yes, gas can serve as a solvent, although it is less common than liquids. Some gases can dissolve other gases or solids and form homogenous mixtures. An example of a gas solvent is carbon dioxide in supercritical fluid extraction processes.
There must exist a solvent for the substance to be extracted in which this substance's solubility is greater than the substance's solubility in water, and the solvent also must not be miscible in water, so that an interface between the solvent and water will be formed in a mixture of the two.
Hexane is used because it is relatively unreactive. Actually, any solvent that is unreactive can be used. However, the general criteria to be employed in choosing a solvent are 1) its solubility/polarity to the mixture/solute, 2) its boiling point is lower than the solute/analyte and 3) it is unreactive.
Ethanol has a lower polarity compared to water, making it a better solvent for organic compounds that are less soluble in water. This allows for better selective solubility during recrystallization, resulting in purer crystals being formed. Additionally, ethanol has a higher boiling point than water, which can help in achieving complete dissolution of the compound at higher temperatures.
The solubility of cholesterol in methanol is 0.014. 2-propanol would be a better solvent than methanol for the extraction of cholesterol from egg yolk.
Using two 30 mL portions of chloroform for extraction of tea leaves containing 1.0 g of caffeine would be more efficient than a single-step reaction due to increased contact with the solvent. The repeated extraction increases the surface area for caffeine to transfer into the solvent, resulting in higher extraction efficiency. This method helps to maximize the extraction of caffeine from the tea leaves.
Alcohol is more polar and less volatile than ether, which can result in lower extraction efficiency and longer extraction times. Additionally, alcohol can form azeotropes with water that can complicate the extraction process. Ether is also considered safer due to its lower flammability compared to alcohol.

A solvent printer has several distinct qualities that differentiate it from regular printers. A solvent printer is less expensive than a regular printer, and it also prints in better quality.
The advantages are: - Goldfish requires less solvent than Soxhlet (solvent in Soxhlet has to reach the siphon level). - Goldfish is quicker because the sample is constantly in contact with the solvent.

Better than what? Costs of extraction make NatGas a poor environmental choice, if for no other reason than extraction leakage--about 3%. NatGas is mostly methane, some 25 times more potent a greenhouse gas than CO2. Reflector ovens are the only sustainable way to go.

No, a solute cannot be bigger than a solvent. A solvent is the substance in which a solute is dissolved, and the size of the solute must be smaller than that of the solvent molecules to form a homogeneous mixture.
Isopropanol is more preferred than ethanol in DNA extraction, as isopropanol facilitates precipitation more better, as it possess very less i.e., 0.6 to 0.7 volumes of alcohol.
The solvent is the greater of the two dissolved quantities.
