EXTRACTION OF CAFFEINE FROM TEA LEAVES 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

Extraction and Evaporation: Separating the Components of "Panacetin" Submitted- July 17‚ 2012 Introduction The purpose of this lab is to investigate the composition of a compound suspected to be Panacetin‚ a type of pain-killer. Panacetin is typically made up of sucrose‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen‚ but the third component in this experiment is unknown. The unknown component is suspected to be a chemical relative of acetaminophen‚ either acetanilide or phenacetin. Using techniques such as

Isolation of Acetyleugenol (Clove Oil) from Cloves Purpose In this experiment‚ you will obtain the essential oil from cloves by steam distillation. You will then separate a component (acetyleugenol) from the oil by liquid-liquid extraction. Finally‚ you will isolate the acetyleugenol by using a rotovap for reduced pressure distillation‚ which will remove the organic solvent (dichloromethane). Background Whole cloves contain between 14% and 20% by weight of essential oils‚ but

Introduction Extraction involves dissolving a compound or compounds either from a solid into a solvent or from a solution into another solvent. Extraction is a method used to purify a substance by removing the impurities that was added to it. A solvent- solvent extraction is a type of extraction that is most commonly done by using two substances that are typically insoluble with each other. An acid-base extraction is a solvent-solvent extraction‚ in almost every case one of the solvents is water

Unintentional messages are so common in my life that it’s almost impossible not to give one. One incident I can recall is when my sister made some strawberry pancakes one morning. As she sat the plate on the table I said “Ugh” in disgust. She just smirked at me. Then when I started eating I realized how good they were. Probably the best strawberry pancakes I’ve ever eaten. To be honest they were so good I got up and exited the room. Not because they weren’t appetizing but simply to exaggerate the

A. Title – Acid-Base Extraction with Separatory Funnel B. Introduction – The main objective of the experiment was the extract an acid‚ a base‚ and a neutral compound from a 2:1:1 compound of benzoic acid‚ p-nitroaniline‚ and azobenzene. In theory‚ an extraction technique based on phase distribution should allow two immiscible solvents to separate with a portion of the solute distributed into each. Using a separatory funnel‚ acids were extracted with bases (NaOH)‚ and bases were extracted

DNA extraction in Watermelon and Bananas Abstract During this experiment the researcher investigated the differing amounts of DNA present in bananas and watermelon. So that the researcher could do this‚ and accurately record the amounts‚ the researcher liquefied the fruits in a blender‚ added water and salt to them‚ and the added laundry detergent before using contact solution as an enzyme. Rubbing alcohol was then poured into the mixture and the DNA was extracted and
