Extraction and Sublimation of Caffeine from Tea Leaves By: Ashley Barnes CH 236 – P8 Experiment 4 & 4.5 Due: 10/15/2014 Table 1. Table of Reagents Discussion The extraction yield refers to the percent of caffeine in the tea leaves at start of the extraction experiment. Tea leaves had 0.55 grams of mass per eight ounce serving. The weight of the extracted crude caffeine was 0.264 grams. Therefore‚ the extraction yield was 48%. This means that we pulled out almost half of the caffeine

Organic Chemistry I Simple and Fractional Distillation The Simple and Fractional distillation experiment was divided into two parts. We split up the procedure in this experiment. My group did the simple distillation and we received the Fractional distillation from another group in class. In this experiment‚ we examined the effectiveness of fractional and simple distillation to determine which is more successful at extracting a pure sample. This experiment was very successful. We are able to

DNA Extraction from Fruit 1. What was the purpose of adding liquid soap and salt in step #1 and how does NaCl contribute to maximum DNA extraction. The purpose of using soap was to destroy the membranes inside a kiwi cell. Soap helped with that because it dissolves the membranes easily. Salt or NaCl was used to remove proteins and carbohydrates. NaCl caused the proteins and carbohydrates to precipitate. 2. Why was it necessary to “mush” the kiwi by hand? If the step was omitted‚ what

Extraction and Analysis of Plasmid DNA from E. coli Cells Introduction A plasmid is an extra-chromosomal element‚ often a circular DNA. Since a plasmid is by definition an extra-chromosomal element‚ it cannot make use of any origin of DNA replication in a chromosome (BP site). Meaning that DNA synthesis within a plasmid depends on having an origin of DNA synthesis of its own. Plasmids are often found in bacterial cells‚ in which they are used as transfer agents for transmitting various antibiotic

Extraction of DNA Molecule of an Onion In an Aqueous Solution By: Introduction DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) is found in every living organism. It provides the information and instructions to build and regulate cells in organisms. The information it contains is used when organisms are being reproduced. It is made up of two polynucleotide chains known as DNA strands. Within the two chains there are four nucleotide units: adenine‚ thymine‚ cytosine‚ and guanine. Materials and Methods An onion

2.3.3 Feature Extraction Feature extraction deals with the extraction of the distinctive features out of face images so that those face images can be differentiated among each other. There are several algorithms available for extracting features out of a face image. The most common is the use of mathematical formulas that generate a mathematical representation of a face image that is termed as a template‚ these templates are “the refined‚ processed and stored representation of the distinguishing

the quantification of albumin and casein were performed and analyzed after extraction of the said proteins from their respective sources. Isolation of proteins was initiated by the breakage of the cell wall / membranes in three different ways. Homogenization of invertase‚ albumin and casein were achieved via grinding process‚ addition of 1M acetic acid and acidification by 0.1M hydrochloric acid correspondingly. Extraction of invertase and casein involved precipitation through the utilization of 95%

Experiment 3 Liquid-Liquid Extraction Discussion The success of extracting each compound out of the solution can be seen in the IR graphs for each substance. For ethyl 4-aminobenzoate‚ the N-H‚ C=O and C-O are distinguishable in their proper wavenumber positions. The amino N-H stretch was found between 3224 cm-1 and 3423 cm-1. The C=O was found at 1681 cm-1 and the C-O was at 1280 cm-1. The IR for benzoic acid also displays its significant bonds‚ O-H and C=O. The O-H was between 2566 and

Abstract The experiment‚ entitled Extraction and Characterization of Proteins‚ aims to isolate casein from milk and albumin from egg; to explain the methods employed for protein extraction; to apply spectrophotometric methods in characterizing and quantifying extracted casein and albumin. The experiment was divided into 2 parts; the extraction of Albumin from egg and the determination of protein concentration via the Warburg-Christian method and Bradford Assay method. In the first part‚ egg
