of Caffeine from Lipton® Tea Leaves Nathaniel Camangon*‚ Kaila Bumagat‚ Franz Mari Burgos‚ Remigio Callanta Department of Chemistry‚ College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract This experiment mainly focuses on the extraction of pure caffeine by multiple extraction from commercially acquired tea leaves and determining its purity by melting point determination. A 0.02% yield of pure caffeine was obtained from 10.4978g of tea leaves (4 tea bags). The acquired

Sublimation was then used for the purification of the targeted compound. Based from the data collected‚ 5.758g of tea leaves contains 3.96% caffeine. After the purification process‚ 0.2279g of caffeine was obtained from 0.4948g crude extract with 46.06% yield. Melting point determination was used to characterize the caffeine yielded. However‚ the melting point range of

The EU is a political and economic partnership between 28 countries that started after World War.

Abstract This work describes the extraction of caffeine from tea leaves to determine its % caffeine. The extraction process selectively dissolves one or more compounds in a mixture into an appropriate solvent. In this experiment‚ it was visible in the process wherein the components of the tea leaves were dissolved in two solvents‚ water and dichloromethane (DCM)‚ with DCM used for multiple extractions. The organic layer was evaporated and the determined % caffeine was 0.12%. Furthermore‚ the purified

didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind‚ I’d still be in prison.” In today’s society‚ an issue exists with too many inmates occupying prisons. Many of these inmates in prisons do not get freed with the same ideas as Nelson Mandela. The solution for this issue is to put inmates to use for the public and only use prisons as holding stations for inmates. Such uses include entertainment‚ military‚ and public services. By forcing inmates to serve as a use for the public‚ inmates will leave prison

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
