Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Marc Tugaoen‚ Kristine Vanzuela‚ Rafael Villanueva‚ Justeen Wong Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract This experiment has been divided into 4 set-ups‚ first was the solid-liquid extraction‚ next was the liquid-liquid extraction‚ then the sublimation and last was the melting point determination. The solid-liquid and liquid-liquid extraction were both done during the first meeting‚ the DCM layer was filtered and

Extraction of caffeine from tea bags 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 was dried

the political chemistry of oil spills and why this is an incredibly important‚ long‚ oily‚ hot summer‚ and why we need to keep ourselves from getting distracted. But before I talk about the political chemistry‚ I actually need to talk about the chemistry of oil. This is a photograph from when I visited Prudhoe Bay in Alaska in 2002 to watch the Minerals Management Service testing their ability to burn oil spills in ice. And what you see here is‚ you see a little bit of crude oil‚ you see some ice

Virgill Organic Lab Report Extraction Separation of a Carboxylic Acid‚ a Phenol‚ and a Neutral Substance Purpose The objective of the experiment is to identify the three substances in the mixture and to determine the percent recovery of each from the mixture. The unknown will consist of either benzoic acid or 2-chlorobenzoic acid‚ 4-t-butyl phenol. Determine the weight of crystals and also the percent yield Introduction There are various techniques of extractions‚ solid/liquid

CHEM 1211 L Principles of Chemistry Lab 16 February 2004 Lab Report 1 Introduction The purpose of this project is to identify an unknown organic acid (X) by conducting various experiments to determine the acid’s unique properties. By determining selected constant properties of the unknown and then comparing these properties to the constant properties of known substances‚ it is possible to identify an unknown substance. The properties used to identify the unknown must be intensive‚ or independent
