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

Exercise 6: Acid-Base Titrations Nick Redmond Partner: Stephan Villavicencio Thurs. Section Lab date: March 19‚ 1998 Report date: April 6‚ 1998 Abstract: The equilibrium between acids and bases during a titration can be used to determine several characteristics of the acid or the base. Sodium hydroxide was standardized to 0.1035 M in three acid-base titrations of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP). This standardized NaOH solution was then used in a series of other titrations with acids in order

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

Isolation of Acetyleugenol (Clove Oil) from Cloves Purpose In this experiment‚ you will obtain the essential oil from cloves by steam distillation. You will then separate a component (acetyleugenol) from the oil by liquid-liquid extraction. Finally‚ you will isolate the acetyleugenol by using a rotovap for reduced pressure distillation‚ which will remove the organic solvent (dichloromethane). Background Whole cloves contain between 14% and 20% by weight of essential oils‚ but

Determining the Properties of Different Acids and Bases Yamin Liu November 16th‚ 2017 Chemistry 1021 Section: 427 Benton Smith Discussion of Results The goals of this experiment were to find the identities of four unknown compounds and to first determine the pH. We then were required to run a series of anion and cation tests to determine the composition of the unknown solutions. To get more knowledge about these solutions we ran a series of dilutions to see if

ABSTRACT The extraction of pectin from orange peels has been studied at different sample to solvent ratios‚ different PHs and with different extraction techniques using water. The amount of pectin extracted reduces as the PH increased. This research work is been carried out in order to determine the process condition that will result in high yield of pectin and residual oil extracted from orange peels using the methanol pre-treatment to extract orange peel oil and hydrochloric acid for pectin extraction

Acid-Base Titrations February 21‚ 2013 Abstract: With the given volume measurement of KHP and NaOH‚ the students experimented to calculate the mass of unknown acid and its equivalence point using a method called titration and titration curve. The known volume of an acid solution would be titrated by slowly adding drops of solution into NaOH‚ and the volume of base needed to react with the acid is measured throughout. By using those data‚ the students are able to find what they

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

Discussion: Extraction and crystallization- The purpose of this lab was to extract and crystallize compounds in a mixture using acids and bases. 1 gram of the unknown was dissolved into 30 mL of ethyl acetate. The mixture was then transferred to a separatory funnel. Using aqueous solutions of different pH we were able to separate organic acids‚ bases and neutral compounds from each other. Using three 10 mL portions of HCl‚ we reacted the HCl with the base in solution. This made it possible to
