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

The article‚ Biotreatment of wastewater using aquatic invertebrates‚ Daphnia magna and Paramecium caudatum‚ mainly pertains to the idea of cleaning dirty‚ polluted water. Every since we‚ as a society‚ have switched from an agrarian to an industrial way of life‚ our waters have become increasingly polluted. Thus‚ scientists have researched conducted experiments in order to attain clean water. One of the failed attempts of attaining clean water was one in which they tried to use chemicals. Unfortunately
