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

of alkaloid caffeine from tea leaves Date Submitted: September 3‚ 2014 Abstract Caffeine is one of the main constituents of tea leaves. In this experiment‚ 0.0039 g of pure caffeine was isolated from tea leaves. This was done through solid-liquid extraction followed by multiple liquid-liquid extraction. Then crude material obtained was then purified by sublimation. The isolated caffeine was subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) together with a standard caffeine. The Rf value

How does Caffeine affect the human body? Caffeine is the world’s most popular drug (Spiller‚ 1998)‚ and can be found in over 60 species of plants throughout the world. Consumption of caffeine comes from cola‚ coffee‚ cocoa‚ tea‚ some medications and so much more. In this paper I will describe the effects of caffeine on the human body‚ from the health risks to how it can help your body; here are just some of the ways caffeine affects the human body both physically and psychologically. First of

widely used psychoactive drug found in many drinks‚ such as coffee‚ tea and cola. Caffeine is naturally present in the leaves and seeds of a variety of plants. Consuming caffeine has significant physiological effects on your body--one being its direct effect on your heart rate. Features Once consumed‚ caffeine enters your blood from the stomach and small intestine and begins to stimulate your central nervous system. Caffeine stimulates receptors located in cells within your heart to increase your heart

Extraction of caffeine from tea bags ABSTRACT Caffeine extraction from the commercial tea leaves (Lipton Yellow Label Tea) that was done is multiple extraction. 4 tea bags were used in the experiment; tea leaves were weighed having 8.5333 grams. The leaves were boiled in a beaker with 150ml of water; the aqueous tea extract was transferred in a seperatory funnel mixed with DCM (20ml)‚ done thrice. The DCM layer was washed with 20ml 6M NaOH in the seperatory funnel; the organic layer was dried

Abstract: Caffeine‚ (C8 H10 N4 O2) a white‚ crystalline alkaloid known as a nervous system stimulant found commonly in tea leaves and coffee‚ can be extracted using the method of sublimation with the use of Methylene Chloride (CH2Cl2) and Sodium Hydroxide; both can repeatedly rinse the green (unroasted) coffee beans from the caffeine. Keywords: Caffeine‚ Methylene Chloride‚ Sodium Hydroxide‚ Anhydrous Sodium Sulfate I. Introduction Caffeine is an alkaloid of the methylxanthine family. Its chemical

Effects of Caffeine and Nicotine on Lumbriculus variegatus INTRODUCTION An experiment was conducted to study and explore the circulatory system by exposing Lumbriculus variegatus‚ black worms‚ to household drugs. Lumbriculus variegatus was chosen as the experimental organism because of their transparent bodies and their simple physiology. Their transparent bodies help the experimenters to easily see their pulse. Another reason for choosing this specific organism is their body structure—large
