Sagot :

Answer:

The hot water dissolves the flavor and color components.

Explanation:

Caffeine can be extracted from the tea leaves into hot water because the hot water dissolves the flavor and color components away from the solid vegetable. This is an example of a solid-liquid extraction. We can extracted the aqueous solution and isolated the crude caffeine by converting the components of caffeine into their calcium salts which are insoluble in water. Then the caffeine can be extracted from the water by using methylene chloride.
