Isolation‚ purification and characterization of alkaloid caffeine from tea leaves Date Submitted: September 3‚ 2014 Abstract Caffeine is one of the main constituents of tea leaves. In this experiment‚ 0.0039 g of pure caffeine was isolated from tea leaves. This was done through solid-liquid extraction followed by multiple liquid-liquid extraction. Then crude material obtained was then purified by sublimation. The isolated caffeine was subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) together

An Introduction to Qualitative Analysis Purpose: Tests the ions of Mg2+‚ Ca2+‚ Sr2+‚ and Ba2+‚ and identify them separately. By using these observations‚ identify the unknown ion. Then tests the ions of SO42-‚ CO32-‚ Cl-‚ and I-‚identify them separately‚ and use the observation to identify the unknown. Procedure Part I - Qualitative Analysis of Group 2 Elements Mix 0.02M K2CrO4 with each Mg(NO3)2‚ Ca(NO3)2‚ Sr(NO3)2 and Ba(NO3)2 together. Secondly‚ mix 0.1M (NH4)2C2O4 instead

Analysis of Silver in an Alloy Introduction In this experiment an alloy of silver will be analyzed to determine its silver content. The silver-copper alloy will be dissolved in nitric acid‚ the silver will be precipitated as silver chloride‚ and the silver chloride will be filtered‚ washed‚ dried and its mass determined. From the mass of the silver chloride formed and the mass of the original sample‚ you will be able to calculate the percent of silver in the alloy. Because the results are

Drying the organic solvent. The organic solvent containing the neutral compound contains some dissolved water. If the solvent were evaporated at this point‚ the resulting solid neutral compound would be wet with water and would consequently be a gooey mess and would take a long time to dry. A drying procedure is therefore necessary to remove all traces of water before the solvent is evaporated. This procedure consists of two steps: (1) thoroughly mixing the solution with saturated aqueous sodium

Substitution Reactions* INTRODUCTION In class‚ we have been learning about substitution reactions and the various mechanisms by which they can occur. In a substitution reaction‚ a leaving group‚ usually a halide‚ is replaced by a nucleophile. Two mechanisms have been described for this reaction‚ a unimolecular (SN1) mechanism‚ and a bimolecular (SN2) mechanism. The stepwise unimolecular mechanism proceeds through a carbocation intermediate. These reactions are favored by the use of a substrate

around noon every day‚ worked until seven in the evening‚ and then went home to work some more. His computer system at home was connected on a dedicated private line to a system at Bell Labs‚ and he often worked at home until three in the morning. Even in the early 1990s‚ after he became a manager at Bell Labs‚ his work habits did not change substantially. "It still tends to be sort of late‚ but not quite that late‚" Ritchie told Patrick Moore in an interview. "It depends on what meetings and so

Many experimental conditions for example temperature‚ and pressure can be adjusted to increase yield of the desired product‚ in chemical reaction‚ but because chemicals react according to fixed mole ratios( stoichometrically)‚ the only limited
