How to make pencils? Background One of the oldest and most widely used writing utensils‚ the pencil originated in pre-historic times when chalky rocks and charred sticks were used to draw on surfaces as varied as animal hides and cave walls. The Greeks and Romans used flat pieces of lead to draw faint lines on papyrus‚ but it was not until the late 1400s that the earliest direct ancestor of today’s pencil was developed. About one hundred years later graphite‚ a common mineral occurring

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

The First Experience for a Wisdom Tooth Extraction Just a year ago‚ I got my wisdom tooth pulled for the first time. My wisdom tooth had started to ache on last New Year ‘s day. Normally‚ I celebrate New Year’s day with special food‚ but I was no time for that because of an excruciating pain. Unfortunately‚ my husband and I didn’t know a good doctor in this city‚ and we couldn’t contact friend who knows well regional information because it was a big holiday! At the long time‚ I found a dentist

Extraction of Caffeine from Thea sinensis Abstract Extraction of Caffeine from Thea sinensis main objective is to isolate‚ purify characterized caffeine from tea leaves. Sublimation technique was used to get the % yield which is 0.07%. The melting point of the standard caffeine with the sublimate is 229°C. Introduction The active ingredient that makes tea and coffee valuable to humans is caffeine. Caffeine is an alkaloid; a class of naturally occurring compounds containing nitrogen and

(1) Evaporation: Surface Area: Evaporation is surface phenomenon.Greater is surface area greater is evaporation and vice versa.For example‚ sometimes a saucer is used if tea is to be cooled‚ quickly.This is because evaporation from the larger surface area of saucer is more than that of the smaller surface area of the tea cup. Temperature: At high temperature‚ rate of evaporation is high because at high temperature

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Department of Biological Sciences‚ College of Science University of Santo Tomas España‚ Manila‚ 1028 ABSTRACT: Caffeine is a white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that acts as a stimulant drug. Caffeine is found in varying quantities in the seeds‚ leaves‚ and fruit of some plants. It is most commonly consumed by humans in infusions extracted from the seed of the coffee plant and the leaves of the tea bush‚ as well as from various foods and drinks containing
