the tannins from the coffee. Afterwards an extraction is used to separate the organic layer (bottom) from the aqueous layer (upper). By using a rotary evaporator‚ it evaporates the organic solvent and forms the crude caffeine. Afterwards we used acetone-petroleum ether for recrystallization and the vacuum apparatus for filtration to obtain pure caffeine. At the end the melting point of the pure caffeine was obtained.

ISOLATION OF TRIMYRISTIN FROM NUTMEG ABSTRACT The purpose if the experiment was to extract the Trimyristan from ground nutmeg using extraction‚ distillation and recrystallization procedures. This experiment involves extraction and separation techniques that yield a purified product. The product was extracted and a distillation process was used to remove any remaining solvent. The recrystallization of the sample in turn produced a pure sample‚ which was proven using the known melting

Lab #3 Separating Metal Cations by Paper Chromatography Introduction/Purpose: In chemistry‚ it is important to effectively analyze the components in a given mixture. In order to do so‚ chemists will analyze a mixture either qualitatively or quantitatively using different methods and equipment. Qualitative analyses are subjective‚ and only gather “non-numerical” data such as the color‚ appearance‚ and smell of the components. This data

NOTES AND COMMENT 343 DETERMINATION OF CHLOROPHYLL AND PHEO-PIGMENTS : SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC EQUATIONS~ It has been shown that chlorophyll degradation products may at times constitute a significant fraction of the total green pigments present in seawater (Yentsch and Menzel 1963; Lorenzen 1965; Yentsch 1965). These degraded forms‚ or inactive chlorophyll‚ absorb light in the red part of the spectrum; if they are present in concentrations significant relative to chlorophyll a‚ a serious error

Title : The Beer-Lambert Law and Its Limitation Objective : 1. To determine the linear relationship between absorbance and concentration of an absorbing species. 2. To study the effects of molecular dissociation complex formation on the applicability of the Beer-Lambert Law. 3. To investigate the derivation and limitation of Beer-Lambert Law. Introduction: In optics‚ the Beer–Lambert law‚ also known as Beer ’s law‚ the Lambert–Beer law‚ or the Beer–Lambert–Bouguer law relates the absorption

It is necessary to recrystallize it in order to obtain pure Zn(C5H7O2)2.H2O. To do this‚ prepare a solution of acetone and distilled water that contains 35 mL of acetone plus 15 mL of water and add 1 mL of acetylacetone to it. The acetylacetone serves to prevent decomposition of the product. Finally‚ add the precipitate to the solution and stir thoroughly. What is the appearance of the

Experiment 1: Simple Distillation and Boiling Points- Separation of Liquids February 24‚ 2014 Analysis In this experiment‚ the distillation of three groups of two miscible liquids was performed. First‚ Ethanol and 2-Propanol were distilled. The boiling points of ethanol and 2-propanol had a difference of 5°C. The percent recovery for both ethanol and 2-propanol were both 0%. The percent recovery of the intermediate was 96%. The percent efficiency calculated of ethanol and 2-propanol was 0% efficient
