Laboratory #16: Analysis of Grease in Water by Solvent Extraction Experiment Date: 2/19/10 Due Date: 2/26/10 II. Objective The goal of this lab was to determine the amount of impurity‚ in the form of oil‚ in water using the method of solvent extraction‚ also known as liquid-liquid extraction‚ a method of separating two materials with different physical and/or chemical properties. Two methods of evaporation will be used to finally determine the concentration of impurity- one using an explosion-proof

Extraction of Caffeine from Lipton Yellow Label Teal Leaves Arlie Bamiano‚ Jealine Bernabe‚ Petrenne Caimbon*‚ Jhia Caso Department of Biology‚ University of Santo Tomas Abstract In order to extract pure caffeine from Lipton Yellow Label tea leaves‚ several extractions and phase transition techniques were employed to 6.5029 grams of sample. Initially‚ the tea leaves were boiled in water to extract tea from the leaves (Solid-Liquid Extraction). After extracting the tea‚ several steps of

Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) was created by chemist Albert Hofmann in Switzerland while attempting to create a blood stimulant. The drug was utilized for psychological experiments for many years and this even led to the military experimenting with it as a biological weapon in the 1960’s. During the 1960’s‚ as a result to the wide dispensing of the drug for experimental purposes‚ it wound up being the “…counterculture used the drug to escape the problems of society…” (LSD: A Short History).

hypochlorite reagent present. An excess is the reagent symbolizes the end of the reaction because there is no longer any reactant left to consume reagent. After the reaction was deemed completed‚ the product was isolated and purified by ether extraction‚ aqueous extraction and evaporation. To determine how sodium hypochlorite acts as an oxidizing agent‚ the starting diol and final product were characterized through IR spectrum. Characterization of the peaks can be used to identify what functional groups

How to make pencils? Background One of the oldest and most widely used writing utensils‚ the pencil originated in pre-historic times when chalky rocks and charred sticks were used to draw on surfaces as varied as animal hides and cave walls. The Greeks and Romans used flat pieces of lead to draw faint lines on papyrus‚ but it was not until the late 1400s that the earliest direct ancestor of today’s pencil was developed. About one hundred years later graphite‚ a common mineral occurring

Abstract This work describes the extraction of caffeine from tea leaves to determine its % caffeine. The extraction process selectively dissolves one or more compounds in a mixture into an appropriate solvent. In this experiment‚ it was visible in the process wherein the components of the tea leaves were dissolved in two solvents‚ water and dichloromethane (DCM)‚ with DCM used for multiple extractions. The organic layer was evaporated and the determined % caffeine was 0.12%. Furthermore‚ the purified

The First Experience for a Wisdom Tooth Extraction Just a year ago‚ I got my wisdom tooth pulled for the first time. My wisdom tooth had started to ache on last New Year ‘s day. Normally‚ I celebrate New Year’s day with special food‚ but I was no time for that because of an excruciating pain. Unfortunately‚ my husband and I didn’t know a good doctor in this city‚ and we couldn’t contact friend who knows well regional information because it was a big holiday! At the long time‚ I found a dentist

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Introduction Caffeine is soluble in boiling water and as a result it is easily extracted from tea bags by steeping in hot water. This process leaves behind the water insoluble portions of the tea bag. However‚ water extracts more than just caffeine‚ so a final separation is done with an organic solvent that will dissolve primarily caffeine. The organic solvent used in this experiment is Dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂). Dichloromethane is less polar than water
