Appropriation of the Destruction of the Tea Historical narratives are protean; as these stories are told and re-told throughout the ages‚ they morph with each passing from one mouth to another. "Historical narratives are ... also metaphorical statements which suggest a relation of similitude between such events and processes and the story types that we conventionally use to endow the events of our lives with culturally sanctioned meanings." The myth we know as the Boston Tea Party was not always the coherent

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

collected‚ 5.758g of tea leaves contains 3.96% caffeine. After the purification process‚ 0.2279g of caffeine was obtained from 0.4948g crude extract with 46.06% yield. Melting point determination was used to characterize the caffeine yielded. However‚ the melting point range of the caffeine collected (190°C -215 °C) was lower than the melting point of the accepted value (238 °C) which may be due to experimental errors committed in the extraction and washing process.

Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to perform a liquid-liquid extraction method to extract the caffeine from the tea bags that were provided‚ and then recrystallize the caffeine. The solvents used in the experiment were an aqueous sodium carbonate and dichloromethane (DCM). Anhydrous calcium chloride pellets were used to dry the solution and emulsion layer and the DCM was then decanted. After washing the anhydrous calcium chloride pellets with more DCM‚ the solvent was evaporated‚ leaving

Boston Tea Party The Boston Tea Party is typically viewed as one of the most popular‚ well-known events of the Revolutionary War. The Boston Tea Party occurred on the night of December 17‚ 1773.

The Mississippi Bubble‚ that took place in France in 1717‚ has been compared to the subprime crisis that began in 2006 in the United States. The similarities between the two crises were not actually noticed until after the subprime crisis had begun. The similarities are present in the development‚ policy responses‚ and the roles that each government played. Could these two crises that occurred more than 300 years apart be so similar that with a proper analysis of the Mississippi Bubble have helped in
