percent of the caffeine molecule dissociates in water‚ proving that the compound is a weak electrolyte. A substance that completely dissociates in a solution‚ such as water‚ is considered an electrolyte and can therefore conduct electricity. This dissociation is caused by the atoms’ minimal nuclear charge‚ allowing the substance to break apart entirely into its ions. Ions are mobile‚ which induces a current and contributes to the substance’s high electrical conductivity. Caffeine is composed of atoms

In this lab‚ caffeine was extracted from black tea‚ and green tea through a vacuum filtration‚ and a rotovap. The melting point of the sample of black tea was 219.12-236.05 ˚c‚ and for the green tea it was 176.22-227.6 ˚c. The % error of the melting point indicates how much error there was from the melting point taken experimentally. The % error of the melting point for black tea was 0.44%‚ and for green tea it is 3.15%.Since the theoretical melting point of caffeine is between 235-237 ˚c‚ we can
