justification part 1: In order to understand a little bit about the effects of common household drugs such as nicotine and caffeine on pulsation rate‚ an experiment was conducted with Lumbriculus Variegattus (Blackworms). In week 1‚ we observed the basal rate of three different worms‚ and then placed the same three worms on different concentrations of caffeine and nicotine. “Caffeine is known to act as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain; it promotes sleep and suppresses aurosal‚ binding to the

leaves with hot water. Yet a very high yield of caffeine was obtained. The crystals melted at 202-214°C. Explain. • The sodium carbonate is supposed to be added when extracting the tea leaves with hot water in order to help purify the caffeine. So since the student neglected to add sodium carbonate the caffeine won’t be pure but the student would still be able to recover a large amount of caffeine. The literature melting point is 238°C. Because the caffeine wasn’t pure enough‚ the observed melting point

Also in the way dietary supplements have to list the quantity of ingredients in their beverage but “conventional food” don’t have to warn their consumers about their intake of caffeine or taurine.

Also in the nutrition facts these companies make their drink look a lot less than
